Penguin Modern Classics: Little Birds

‘Delta Of Venus’ and ‘Little Birds’, Anais Nin’s bestselling volumes of erotica, contain striking revelations of a woman’s sexuality and inner life.

In ‘Little Birds’, each of the thirteen short stories captures a moment of sexual awakening, recognition or fulfilment, and reveals the subtle or explicit means by which men and women are aroused. Lust, obsession, fantasy and desire emerge as part of the human condition, as pure or as complex as any other of its aspects.
