These 13 erotic short stories by the acclaimed author of Henry and June explore the nature of desire, taboo, and female sensuality.
Following her first book of erotic short fiction, Delta of Venus, Anaïs Nin continues to illuminate the many guises of human sexuality in Little Birds. From the beach towns of Normandy to the streets of New Orleans, these thirteen vignettes introduce us to a covetous French painter, a sleepless wanderer of the night, a guitar-playing gypsy, and a host of others who yearn for and dive into the turbulent depths of romantic experience.
"[It is] so distinct an advance in the depiction of female sensuality that I felt, on reading it, enormous gratitude."-Alice Walker
«One of contemporary literature's most important writers.»-Newsweek

    Her eyes had a hard, lacquered glow. She shook her earrings, laughed, covered herself with a cape and left me.

    The others … how you have to search for the animal in them. They have diluted it, disguised it, perfumed it, so it will smell like something else—like what? angels
  • dawghas quoted10 months ago
    The animal nature of woman has been so carefully disguised—the lips and ass and legs made to serve other purposes, made, like some colored plumage, to distract man from his desire rather than accentuate it
