Kavan, Anna (Pseudonym of Helen Ferguson Woods) (Vol. 13) | Introduction
Kavan, Anna (Pseudonym of Helen Ferguson Woods) 1904–1968
Born in France, Kavan lived in the United States, Burma, Norway, New Zealand, and England. A novelist and short story writer, she is frequently compared to Anaïs Nin for the way in which she weaves the fabric of her exotic personal life into her fiction, for her landscape of dream life, and her nightmare imagery.
