This volume aims to reread, reevaluate, and recreate Anais Nin as a writer. In so doing, it draws on the wealth of Japanese critique of Nin, notable for its distinctive tendency to approach both her life and work with a non-judgmental attitude. The study focuses on Nin in the 1930s when she lived in Paris, her birthplace and "e;second home,"e; in Gertrude Stein's terminology, where she experienced numerous transformative encounters and underwent a radical process of becoming-a Deleuzean concept which plays a pivotal role in this discussion of Nin. While situating Nin within the vibrant cultural and historical context of Paris in the 1930s-one of the most magnetic cities and eras, respectively-the book reads Nin's text and Nin as text minutely, and presents her as an avant-garde experimentalist as a writer, person, and woman.
