A Revealing Look at the Mentorshipand Manipulationof Anaïs Nin
In 1962, eighteen-year-old Tristine Rainer was sent on an errand to Anaïs Nin's West Village apartment. The chance meeting would change the course of her life and begin her years as Anaïs's accomplice, keeping her mentor's confidencesincluding that of her bigamyeven after Anaïs Nin's death and the passing of her husbands, until now.
Set in the underground literary worlds of Manhattan and Los Angeles during the sixties and seventies, Tristine charts her coming of age under the guidance of the infamous Anaïs Nin: author of the erotic bestseller Delta of Venus, lover to Henry Miller, Parisian diarist, and feminist icon of the sexual revolution. As an inexperienced college-bound girl from the San Fernando Valley, Tristine was dazzled by the sophisticated bohemian author and sought her instruction in becoming a woman. Tristine became a fixture of Anaïs's inner circle, implicated in the mysterious author's daring intrigueswhile simultaneously finding her own path through love, lust, and loss. In what Kirkus calls a "spicy and saucy hybrid of memoir and novel," Apprenticed to Venus brings to life a seductive and entertaining character the pioneer whose mantra was, "A woman has as much right to pleasure as a man!"
An intimate look at the intricaciesand risksof the female mentor-protégé relationship, Tristine Rainer's Apprenticed to Venus stories her deep friendship, for good or ill, with a pivotal historical figure.
