Description: Anais Nin the author of works such as Delta of Venus and House of Incest is the patron saint of taboo - breaking pop culture sexual iconoclasts. Not only is she an inspiration for contemporary figures such as Madonna but her oeuvre which encompasses erotica autobiography essays short fiction novels and much more has been adapted into film (Henry and June) television (Little Birds) and other media. The cartoonist Leonie Bischoff traces the life of the prolific writer in this lushly coloured graphic novel. It begins with Nin struggling to reconcile the man she married (who had artistic aspirations) with the banker she finds herself living with in the Parisian suburbs. Soon her obsession with June Miller leads to inspiration. Nin's life and art the truth and fiction are further intertwined as she recounts her many sexual liaisons including those with Henry Miller (whom she and her husband subsidize so he can write the controversial Tropic of Cancer) her psychoanalysts and even her father. Although Bischoff's drawing is largely representational she occasionally depicts Nin's sexual experiences in scenes as surreal as Nin's own written portrayal of them. Age range: 18+
