The seventh and final volume of the author's "remarkable" diary is filled with the reflections of an older woman as she journeys through the world ( Los Angeles Times). "One of the most remarkable diaries in the history of letters" ends as the author wished: not with her last two years of pain but at a joyous moment on a trip to Bali ( Los Angeles Times). As she ages, Anaïs Nin reflects on how the deeply personal and introspective nature of her writings intertwines with her public life and her connections with other people, including her devoted readers. "One of the most extraordinary and unconventional writers of [the twentieth] century." — The New York Times Book Review Edited and with a preface by Gunther Stuhlmann
