Who is Anais Lin from Kafka Was the Rage: A Greenwich Village Memoir and what is their importance?

Author and poet, Anais Lin, was an acquaintance of Sheri Donatti. When Anatole and Sherri visited her one evening, Lin was so self-absorbed that everyone felt uncomfortable. She later made a special notation in her diary about Anatole's good looks and sensuality. Anatole, however, was not impressed because she said the same thing about all young men.
