The quality and originality of her work were evident at an early stage but, as is often the case with avant-garde writers, it took time for her to achieve wide recognition. Her prose poem, House of Incest (1936), was followed by the collection of three novellas, Winter of Artifice (1939). She became acquainted with many well-known writers and artists, and wrote a series of novels and stories. She was analysed in the 1930s by Rene Allendy and subsequently by Otto Rank, with whom she also studied briefly in the summer of 1934. Later Anais Nin moved to Paris with her husband, and they lived in France from 1924 to 1939, when Americans left on account of the war. Her father left the family for another woman, which shocked Anais profoundly and was the reason for her mother to take her and her two brothers to live in the United States. She was born in Paris and spent her childhood in various parts of Europe. Partly of Spanish origin, Anais Nin was also of Cuban, French and Danish descent.
