Anaïs Nin

Delta of Venus

Anais Nin's Delta of Venus is a stunning collection of sexual encounters from the queen of literary erotica. From Mathilde's lust-filled Peruvian opium den to the Hungarian baron driven insane by his insatiable desire, the passions and obsessions of this dazzling cast of characters are vivid and unforgettable. Delta of Venus is a deep and sensual world that evokes the very essence of sexuality.

its erotic it’s gross its hot in ways more than others it makes me uncomfortable but i still enjoyed reading it i enjoy anais nin works in general but this was the first one i got introduced to & im glad it was because it was something out of the ordinary for me to indulge in & i ended up being enamored with a majority of the female characters.

Very conflicting thoughts on this. Most of the fantasies are way too explicit for my taste and the line between erotica and pornography is easily crossed. What saves it is Anaïs Nin's tremendous skill with words.

NSFW lol - not for the sensitive souls
Really great book tho

Awesome read! The word choices date the book, and take a few pages to get used to but it's well worth the read. 

If you are easily offended don't bother reading this book. We don't need to mud the review section with "this book needs to be taken off the shelf!" :p

A lot of the stories in this compilation have elements such as pedophilia, incest, bestiality and rape. The language was nice and poetic, but the subject matter was not actually erotic at all, and very fucked up. Each and every story made me uncomfortable in some way or another.
