Delta of Venus, by Anaïs NinWorks by Anias Nin:
 Anias Nin About Anias Nin:Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell (February 21, 1903 – January 14, 1977) was a French author who became famous for her published journals, spanning more than 60 years, and for her erotica.Nin is hailed by many as one of the finest writers of female erotica. She was one of the first women to explore fully the realm of erotic writing, and certainly the first prominent woman in modern Europe to write erotica. Before her, erotica written by women was rare. Delta of Venus is a collection of erotic Some of the stories are quite provocative. For instance the story of a Hungarian adventurer who seduces wealthy women and then vanishes with their money; or the tale of the veiled woman who selects strangers from a chic restaurant for private trysts. Or the wonderful tale of the Parisian hat maker named Mathilde who men simply cannot resist, and who leaves her husband for the opium dens of Peru. Through this collection of fifteen works Nin deals with differing kinds of sex from true love and true lust to acts of sadomasochism. This can lead to the darker side of life in fact in the collection there are some rather tragic tales. Anaïs Nin (1903-1977) was born in Paris and aspired at an early age to be a writer. She was an influential artist and thinker, and the author of several novels, short stories, critical studies, a collection of essays, two volumes of erotica, and nine published volumes of her Diary. Delta of Venus is collection of short stories that were never really intended to be published. The tales were originally written by the author during a period when she was penniless for a person she names only as ‘The Collector’ in order to bring in money. Nin was a friend of Henry Miller, Gore Vidal and other male erotica authors, and took on the men at their own game. The tales in this collection are still as vibrant, and sometimes shocking, as when they were written. This is an extraordinarily rich and exotic collection from the master of erotic writing. Undoubtedly Delta of Venus is one of the best and most important works of erotica from the 20th century. The writing style is both lyrical and straightforward. While Nin tells erotic tales and leaves no doubt whatsoever about what is going on, her love scenes are imbued with warmth and dignity. Also Anaïs Nin writes about emotions and infuses her characters with it. This is still a book well worth reading! Little Birds, by Anias NinLittle Birds is an evocative The stories are all very different from one another, and explore different types of sexual encounters and situations. For instance, A Model is a story of a young woman’s progress in sexual awakening as she works as a nude model. The Queen is a story of a Parisian artist in love with and inspired by a famous prostitute named Bijou. And The Runaway depicts a runaway young woman who is taken in by two men who both begin to train her in lovemaking. The stories in this collection are Little Birds, The Woman on the Dunes, Lina, Two Sisters, Sirocco, The Maja, A Model, The Queen, Hilda & Rango, The Chanchiquito, Saffron, Mandra, and Runaway. The writing in each of the stories is eloquent, steamy and sexy without being crass. All the stories are easy reads. This, plus the fact that the stories are written by a feminist author, makes Little Birds a very interesting experience into the world of erotica. I liked the stories and do not hesitate to recommend it for its sensual stories. It is an incredible collection. Praise for Little Birds: "[It is] so distinct an advance in the depiction of female sensuality that I felt, on reading it, enormous gratitude." --Alice Walker |
