Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira (February 21, 1903 – January 14, 1977) was a French-born American diarist, essayist, novelist, and writer of short stories and erotica. Born to Cuban parents in France, Nin was the daughter of the composer Joaquín Nin and the classically trained singer Rosa Culmell. Nin spent her early years in Spain and Cuba, about sixteen years in Paris (1924–1940), and the remaining half of her life in the United States, where she became an established author.
Djuna Barnes, D H Lawrence, Marcel Proust, André Gide, Jean Cocteau, Paul Valéry, and Arthur Rimbaud were influential in his writings. According to her diaries, Nin was introduced to erotica when she returned to Paris. When she was strapped for money, she began writing erotic and pornographic narratives with Henry Miller and other friends in the 1940s.
Nin had relationships with many names such as Henry Miller, John Steinbeck, Antonin Artaud, and Gore Vidal. While she was married to her first husband, she married her second husband, Rupert Pole, in 1947. Although this marriage was later legally dissolved, she lived with Pole until his death. Nin, whose writings attracted much attention within the feminist movement of the 1960s, was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 1974. She died in California on January 14, 1977. His body was cremated and his ashes were scattered in Santa Monica Bay.
