Anaïs Nin: An Unprofessional Study

Melding scholarship with artistic reflection, Anaïs Nin: An Unprofessional Study guides readers through the movements and architectures of Nin's writing. This dense, melodic book combines critical essays with concepts for film treatment, choreography, and an art installation, all centered around Nin’s life, energy, and aesthetic. Using his own lyric sensibilities and love of language as a compass, Kazim Ali explores what possibilities Nin's body of work might hold, and what limitations it might transcend.
