Anais Nin (flamenco)

A young Anais Nin in the twenties; where she (among other things) trained as a flamenco dancer in Paris.

I'd never heard about Nin and her fascinating life and writings till we did her for Costume class.
One of the loveliest resources was [link]; and the archives of the New York Times.

She exists (to me, in the present)
as a strange blend of second / third hand accounts,
a few minutes of footage on youtube,
and of course, her writings & erotica; themselves
evocative in nature; occupying a place straddling fact and
fiction - perhaps not so different from the mind over time.
