Why I admire Anaïs Nin
She has an amazing soul.
Anaïs Nin (placeholder)
Anaïs Nin (February 21, 1903 – January 14, 1977) was a French-born author of Catalan, Cuban, and Danish descent who became famous for her published diaries, which span more than sixty years, beginning when she was eleven years old and ending shortly before her death, as well as for her erotica.
For many years, Anaïs Nin maintained a double life as a bigamist. Her first husband was Hugh Guiler, a banker and artist, whom she married as a young woman in the 1920s. Her second husband was Rupert Pole, a forester and step-grandson of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, whom she married in the 1950s while still married to Guiler. Both men were apparently unaware of Nin’s double life and did not meet until after Nin’s death in 1977. After the death of Hugh Guiler in 1985, the unexpurgated, or uncensored, versions of her diaries were commissioned by Rupert Pole.

Why I want to meet Anaïs Nin
I know she’s gone, but I feel like part of her is with me. My personality has grown alongside her although I didn’t discover her works until about seven years ago. To the Sabina in us all…hopefully I’ll see her out there in the cosmos sometime.
