| Description: |
| 1 page TLs from Anaïs Nin to Henry Miller. |
| Nin's letter begins, "Dear Henry: I have not forgotten that letter, or your attitude towards my work and towards me and I have said so in countless interviews. The intelligent women in the feminist movement understand. It is only the others, the hate hostile ones who don't. I don't like them any more than you do. They are hostile to me because I will not attack [a] man (who has done so much for me and taught me so much)...As for Vidal, that is another matter. He is a dangerous and destructive madman. Everyone now says so but I don't know who will attack him. He attacked Mishima in a hideous low way, he hates you because you were successful with women, loved by women, and he is impotent. He now writes pretending we had an affair, and it is so ridiculous. Yet one can't answer or it is demeaning, one would have to get on his vulgar level. His tying you with Charles Manson is all the more distorted when it is he who is a killer, a gunman for the New York Review of Books, and you have brought only joy and freedom to your followers...About publicity, I dislike it intensely, and we have had our share of hostilities, you and I. That goes with the love we get..." Miller's holograph note "Nin" next to Anaïs' signature, and small note in upper corner. |
