Helen Tookey was born in Leicester in 1969. She studied philosophy at Sheffield and Cambridge, gaining a D.Phil from Oxford in 2000. She has taught at Liverpool University and Manchester Metropolitan University.
The book reveals Tookey's thorough grasp of Nin's writings and of
all relevant and recent literary criticism.... Articulate,
readable, and well footnoted, with a good bibliography and index,
this is a valuable volume for Nin scholars.
