Bio

(1903-1977) Novelist, diarist, erotic writer. Born in Paris, Nin moved at age eleven to New York City with her mother and her brothers. In 1923, she married a banker, writer and illustrator named Hugo Guiler, and moved with Guiler to Paris. It was in Paris in the pre-World War II years that Nin and Guiler supported various avant-garde artists, among them Henry Miller, who Nin met in 1931 and began an affair with in 1932. After a brief stint as an analyst with Otto Rank in 1934 in New York, Nin returned to Paris. She worked on her famous series of “Diaries” and published, with Lawrence Durrell, a novel, “Winter of Artifice” (1939). With the outbreak of war in Europe, Nin and many other artists in Paris scattered. Nin returned to America and divided her time between New York and Los Angeles.
