New York: Printed by the Hunt Turner Press for the Alicat Book Shop, 1946. First Edition. Softcover. Very good. [1946]. Original purple pictorial wrappers, stapled. [4] pp. of early pencil notes on Japanese art in final three (blank) pages and recto of rear wrapper. Some wear to wrappers, with one inch of separation below bottom staple. Large chip to ower-outer corner of last leaf of text, not affecting text. Overall very good.

Scarce suppressed first issue with the cover showing Nin in men's evening clothes, later replaced by a less controversial depiction of the woman author. The pamphlet is Number Six of the "Outcast" series of chapbooks published by the Alicat Book Shop, containing a biographical sketch of Anaiis Nin and her title essay, an apologia for and key to her writing.
