Nin delta of venus6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Yes ok so there is a lot, and I mean a lot, of sex in these stories but it’s not of the ‘wham bam thank you man variety’, well actually sometimes it is but behind each act there is a story and occasionally almost a moral to the whole tale. In fact reading these now, I imagine they were quite steamy stuff in the 1940’s, it’s the beautiful prose and the underlying themes that make Nin’s collection so interesting to read. ![]() ![]() What she did want to do with the erotic tales she wrote was create more of a story and flavour of literature rather than just the mechanical act itself. Well today’s post is about the Madame of Erotica herself Anaïs Nin and author many have recommended I try and not for the reasons you might be thinking you mucky minded lot! Though this review could end up not being for the faint hearted or easily offended, you might want to avert your eyes.Īs Anaïs Nin states herself in the preface of ‘Delta of Venus’ this collection was never really intended to be published, in fact when these tales were originally written they were simply created for someone she names only as ‘The Collector’ in order to bring in the money. Isn’t it interesting the power of the words… porn and erotica. Then again some people will possibly have closed there browsers before they get further than that first line and some people will have found this blog for the first time because of it. I personally think there is a huge divide between pornography and erotica. ![]()
