A Cafe in Space, Vol. 9 contains several excerpts from Anais Nin's unpublished 1950s diary in which she describes the "trapeze life," swinging back and forth across the country from her husband in New York to her lover in Los Angeles, and how difficult it was to keep her men in the dark about each other. Another important document in Vol. 9 is a letter of absolution to Nin from Hugh Guiler, her husband, written only weeks before Nin's death. Critical articles on Nin's writing and how her persona was carefully crafted, on two of her contemporaries, Lawrence Durrell and Antonin Artaud, as well as creative pieces by two of Nin's former students, along with reviews of two important publications on Henry Miller and by Anais Nin, complete this issue of A Cafe in Space. A must-have for any Nin, Miller, Durrell, or Artaud enthusiast.
