Fall, 1972: Life is Beautiful

Anais Nin says that her life is beautiful: "Work on the film. A warm pool, an enchanting playful dog. The sun. Indian cotton dresses in the closet." She is 69 years old, lecturing at colleges, living life in the public eye, and she is exhausted. She prefers a quiet life of writing, swimming, and playing with Piccolino, and the notoriety she has received has given her the financial freedom to live the quiet life when not on lecture tours.
