Anaïs Nin and Marguerite Young, "Angel in the Forest" (1976). Anaïs Nin introduces and then Charles Ruas and Joan Schwartz interview the enigmatic, iconoclastic writer about her masterwork, the non-fiction study of her upbringing in a utopian Indiana community, Angel In the Forest. A 19th century construct, the story and the characters, all real, make a fascinating tale of subcultures in America.
