Anais Nin is busy:
- she is nominated a daughter of Mark Twain
- her books are taught at Queens College in a course in avant-garde literature
- she is invited to lecture at the Library of Congress
- her work is translated into French, German, Italian, Swedish, Danish, Flemish, Catalonian, and Japanese
Her life in L.A. is very conducive to working - it is peaceful and serene, and there are few interruptions.
Her life in New York, on the other hand, leads her to "play ostrich" at the end of the day. All she can do is drink wine or beer or take a sleeping pill so she can sleep and have enough energy for the next day.
