Not only is she an inspiration for contemporary figures such as Madonna, but her oeuvre, which encompasses erotica, autobiography, essays, short fiction, novels, and much more, has been adapted into film (\u003cem\u003eHenry and June\u003c\/em\u003e), television (\u003cem\u003eLittle Birds\u003c\/em\u003e), and other media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cartoonist Léonie Bischoff traces the life of the prolific writer in this lushly coloured graphic novel. It begins with Nin struggling to reconcile the man she married (who had artistic aspirations) with the banker she finds herself living with in the Parisian suburbs. Soon, her obsession with June Miller leads to inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNin's life and art, the truth and fiction, are further intertwined as she recounts her many sexual liaisons including those with Henry Miller (whom she and her husband subsidise so he can write the controversial \u003cem\u003eTropic of Cancer\u003c\/em\u003e), her psychoanalysts, and even her father. Although Bischoff's drawing is largely representational, she occasionally depicts Nin's sexual experiences in scenes as surreal as Nin's own written portrayal of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47423759614188,"sku":"9781683967590","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8be95943aab5d23f40f7d1d11e6105c6.jpg?v=1774578881"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/leonie-bischoff.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
