Apologies for linking to a fabulous interview in an earlier post which was posted on you tube and taken down because of copyright infringement. Perhaps those of you that are French speaking can find it from the above note (taken from a great web site on Miller which notes:

Le sel de la semaine TV show interviewed Anais Nin ten months later, in 1970. You can view the full hour interview (in French) for free on your computer by visiting the Radio-Canada (CBC) Archives website

Happy Hunting! in the Les Archives of Radio-Canada. We'd love it if someone would volunteer to translate the below for the site.

It looks like you might be able to link to it (juin 18, 1970) by linking here! which will bring you here

and this photo speaking of copyright issues is from brittanica.com Anaïs Nin, c. 1972.
