More Flavor: Tribute Anaïs Nin at 105

  • Anais_nin_large

Anaïs Nin's diaries depicted a woman delighting in self-discovery, full of poignant, writerly nuggets like, "We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection." Nin was a pragmatic-but-passionate feminist; her writing embraced lovers like author Henry Miller (and his wife), art, and everyday comings and goings in a graceful, matter-of-fact manner. Tonight, the Hammer honors Nin with a set of recollections from electronic-music pioneer Bebe Barron, writer Deena Metzger, architect Eric Lloyd Wright, and Center of Autobiographic Studies founder Tristine Rainer.
