In A Cafe in Space, Volume 12, the true story of the famous "come as your madness" party is revealed in an except from Anais Nin's forthcoming diary 'Trapeze'. Instead of the mystique created in Nin's Diary 5, it was actually a painful event for Nin, and jealousy was at the core. In her article "Political Nin," Kim Krizan debunks the theory that because Nin made very few politically-oriented comments in her diaries she was an insular, self-obsessed person who didn't care about the world around her. With newly-discovered letters from Nin to her husband about JFK's assassination, these notions are disproved, and Krizan analyzes why it was that Nin's diaries were devoid of such sentiments. The long and confusing process of publishing Nin's 'A Spy in the House of Love' is once and for all unraveled in the article "Spy Odyssey," which contains Nin's unpublished diary entries and correspondence between all the principal parties. We find out how it is possible that after selling 100,000 copies of the book that Nin actually lost money on the overall publication. Also included are studies of Nin's fiction and her use of symbols, the impact the Mediterranean had on her, the humor of the Durrell brothers, poetry and art. Book reviews are of Arthur Hoyle's new Henry Miller biography and John Tytell's most recent book on the Beats.
