Paul posted this lovely comment recently. It’s in response to one of my posts about Anaïs Nin from last year. So that you can read it, here is Paul’s comment again:
From Paul: Hi Sarah, noticed your blog. I publish some of Nin’s work and have a Nin blog at http://www.skybluepress.com/blog.html. Come visit some time, and best of luck! Paul Herron – http://www.skybluepress.com
Hi Paul, thank you so much. I had a look at your website – it’s wonderful! I look forward to ordering a copy of A CAFÉ IN SPACE: THE ANAÏS NIN LITERARY JOURNAL very soon, and maybe, if I’m feeling brave, submitting my Anaïs story… we shall see! Thanks again for visiting. All the best, Sarah
A Café in Space is a wonderful site featuring six literary journals, all focusing on Anaïs Nin, available to order. There’s also an “Anaïs Nin Character Dictionary and Index to Diary Excerpts” by Benjamin Franklin V. When you think how prolific Anaïs Nin was, and how many versions of each volume of each diary she wrote, compiling an index and dictionary of her journals is an incredible feat. It’s a marathon achievement of pure scholarship (in the original, selfless meaning of the word) and poetic, heroic devotion.
I think you will love ‘A Cafe in Space,’ and hopefully it can become the home for some of your work. Where in NZ are you? My lovely wife is a Kiwi from Christchurch, but has lived on both islands. We gave a talk on Nin last summer at Paris X Nanterre. Small world.
