Anaïs Nin, vivre sans entraves
Mar 11, 2022Tout au long du XXe siècle, l'écrivaine franco-américaine Anaïs Nin a fait de sa vie l'unique sujet d'un labyrinthique et monumental journal intime. Ce journal de 35 000 pages, sans équivalent dans l'histoire de la littérature, a bouleversé des générations de lecteurs. Femme caméléon, séductrice, conquérante sexuelle, Anaïs Nin a transgressé tous les codes de la morale et fait du mensonge un art de vivre. Mais qui est la véritable Anaïs Nin ? Une mythomane, une érotomane, une scandaleuse ? Ou une femme moderne, libérée, en avance sur son temps, qui, dans un monde fait pour les hommes, a consommé la vie comme elle l'entendait ?
