Delta of Venus

Om boken

Delta of Venus is a groundbreaking anthology of erotic short stories by Anaïs Nin. In these pieces, Nin conjures up a glittering cascade of sexual encounters, creating her own 'language of the senses' to explore an area previously dominated by male writers. Her vibrant and impassioned prose evokes the essence of female sexuality in a world where only love has meaning. This edition includes a preface adapted from Anaïs Nin's diary that establishes context for the work's creation, and a postscript in which she explains her desire to use 'women's language, seeing sexual experience from a woman's point of view'. 'Anaïs Nin excites male readers and incites female readers ... and she comes against life with a vital artistry and boldness' — The New York Times Book Review
