I couldn't read this in one go (erotica overload!) and the chapters lent for easy reading over a long time.I realize now why Anais Nin is so esteemed. Her prose lends much beauty and sensitivity to human sexuality. ( )

After having read Little Birds I expected something even better. I would say it's a comparable read. Based om todays standards it's on the milder spectrum of erotica. As with any short story collection I found some stories much more enjoyable than others. Her use of the term "sex" for the most intimate female part and sometimes male part becomes annoying or even laughable. If you are new to the erotic genre then you would enjoy this book. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0141182849, Paperback)

In Delta of Venus Anaïs Nin penned a lush, magical world where the characters of her imagination possess the most universal of desires and exceptional of talents. Among these provocative stories, a Hungarian adventurer seduces wealthy women then vanishes with their money; a veiled woman selects strangers from a chic restaurant for private trysts; and a Parisian hatmaker named Mathilde leaves her husband for the opium dens of Peru. Delta of Venus is an extraordinarily rich and exotic collection from the master of erotic writing.
