From Djuna’s story, told in “The Sealed Room” through hints and allusions, hazy in their details and chronology, the most important event to emerge is her father’s desertion (like Nin’s) when she was sixteen. By rejecting realistic writing for the experience and intuitions she drew from her diary, Nin was able to forge a novelistic style emphasizing free association, spontaneity, and improvisation, a technique that finds its parallel in the jazz music performed at the café where Nin’s characters meet.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USAuthor: Anaïs NinGenre: FictionItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 133mmContributor: Anita Jarczok (Introduction by)Release Year: 1959 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
