from The Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1934-1939, edited by Gunther Stuhlman, pp. 12-13
*****************************************************
In January 1935, the writer Anaïs Nin (1903-1977), who became famous for her diaries, paid a visit to Dreiser in his apartment at the Hotel Ansonia in Manhattan. She recorded the visit in her diary, an excerpt from which is posted below as a downloadable PDF file. Her brief diary entry sheds some light on Dreiser’s customary demeanor.
This meeting seems to have escaped the notice of Dreiser biographers.
