Coming soon : Rebloging Anaїs Nin from Tehran

when Anaїs Nin's Diary: 1931-34 appeared in the Spring of 1966, Karl Shapiro, the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, wrote in the Book Week: "For a generation the literary world on both sides of the Atlantic has lived with the rumor of an extraordinary diary. Earlier readers of the Manuscript dicussed it with breathtaking superlatives as a work that would take it's place with great revelations of literature. A significant section of this diary is at last in print and it appears that the great claims made for it are justified."

Keep posted for the blog dedicated to rebloging Nin. Send me an email if you want to be one of the reblogers.

A gallery of Lovecraft book covers

It's kind of touching to see such a host of graphic artists valiantly struggling to capture this author's impossible sensibility within their own limits of time and budget constraints. Plus, supposedly, some shopper is supposed to buy that thing off a shelf! I wonder how many of these packages would have attracted Lovecraft's own interest as an inveterate book browser. Some of them, for sure. Maybe about one in ten. Also check out this page from a devoted fan.
