This one's truly a banger. Anais makes an appearance in Kenneth Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome, alongside Cameron and Curtis Harrington.

Moreover, she offers a brilliant and chilling analysis of a California brush fire.

There is also an ironic consolation in her accounts of being rejected by literary magazines and clueless publishers. Later on in the volume, she meets a sort of pre-Edie Edie Sedgwick named Nina Gitane Primavera, a Fifties tweaker whom you'll remember long after the book is finished.

The diary concludes with Anais dropping acid, yet she doesn't describe her trip in the vivid ways she criticizes Aldous Huxley for doing. It's an underwhelming segment. Equally annoying are her cliched canonizations of impoverished people during her various vacations.

Overall, while there are some interesting aspects to Anais' diary, it also has its flaws and不足之处.
