Anaïs Nin

ANAÏS NIN
 
 
Anaïs Nin  (born Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell; February 21, 1903 – January 14, 1977) was an essayist and memoirist born to Cuban parents in France, where she was also raised.  She spent some time in Spain and Cuba, but lived most of her life in the United States, where she became an established author.  She wrote journals (which span more than 60 years, beginning when she was 11 years old and ending shortly before her death), novels, critical studies, essays, short stories, and erotica.  A great deal of her work, including Delta of Venus and Little Birds, was published posthumously.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Soledad Brothers (band) grew out of a punk blues band called Henry and June, which was active from 1994 to 1996.  This name is evidently a reference to American writer Henry Miller and his wife, June Miller – or more likely, an erotic film featuring the couple called Henry & June that is based on a book of the same name, Henry and June by the famed French diarist Anaïs Nin
