Publisher Description A Revealing Look at the Mentorship-and Manipulation-of Anas NinIn 1962, eighteen-year-old Tristine Rainer was sent on an errand to Anas Nins West Village apartment. The chance meeting would change the course of her life and begin her years as Anass accomplice, keeping her mentors confidences-including that of her bigamy-even after Anas Nins death and the passing of her husbands, until now.Set in the underground literary worlds of Manhattan and Los Angeles during the sixties and seventies, Tristine charts her coming of age under the guidance of the infamous Anas Nin: author of the erotic bestseller Delta of Venus, lover to Henry Miller, Parisian diarist, and feminist icon of the sexual revolution. As an inexperienced college-bound girl from the San Fernando Valley, Tristine was dazzled by the sophisticated bohemian author and sought her instruction in becoming a woman. Tristine became a fixture of Anass inner circle, implicated in the mysterious authors daring intrigues-while simultaneously finding her own path through love, lust, and loss. In what Kirkus calls a "spicy and saucy hybrid of memoir and novel," Apprenticed to Venus brings to life a seductive and entertaining character -the pioneer whose mantra was, "A woman has as much right to pleasure as a man!"An intimate look at the intricacies-and risks-of the female mentor-protg relationship, Tristine Rainers Apprenticed to Venus stories her deep friendship, for good or ill, with a pivotal historical figure.
