First sentence: Questions of sincerity and authenticity, what have come to be known as the 'truth claim', are constantly brought into the discussion of autobiography, and with Anais Nin the truth factor becomes an issue as the reader moves from diary to fiction, searching for truths in a writer who herself was ambivalent about the notion of absolute truths.
