Acknowledgments

First, I wish to acknowledge and thank Dr. Sinead McDermott and Dr. Patricia Moran for reading the earliest manuscript version of this book and for all their advice and guidance. My research was made possible by a Women’s Studies scholarship from the University of Limerick and funding from the Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Sciences. Without this financial assistance, I would not have been able to complete my studies. I also would like to thank all the people who directly or indirectly contributed to the writing of this book: Dr. Carmen Kuhling, Professor Brenda Silver, and the anonymous reviewers of the manuscript for their invaluable suggestions and critique; Paul Herron for providing materials on Anaïs Nin; the librarians at the Anaïs Nin Collection at the University of California, Los Angeles, for their helpful assistance with my archival research; Anna Jaskier for devoting her time to double-checking the accuracy of the quotations; Angela Przelomski for her comments on the introduction; and Gillian Berchowitz, Nancy Basmajian, and Ricky Huard along with all the other staff of the Ohio University Press for their encouragement and help throughout the writing and publishing process. I am grateful to Tree Wright for letting me use excerpts from Nin’s original journals and letters. Finally, I am indebted to my family and friends, especially those who provided their constant support regardless of the many kilometers separating us. Special thanks to my parents my brother, and to my friends Aleksandra and Darragh Browne, Lisa Breford, Anna Jaskier, Julien Lynagh, and Katarzyna Papkoj.
