As influential and revelatory in its day as Fifty Shades of Grey is now, Anaïs Nin's Delta of Venus is a groundbreaking anthology of erotic short stories, published in Penguin Modern Classics
In "Delta of Venus", Anais Nin conjures up a glittering cascade of sexual encounters. Creating her own 'language of the senses', she explores an area that was previously the domain of male writers and brings to it her own unique perceptions. Her vibrant and impassioned prose evokes the essence of female sexuality in a world where only love has meaning.
This edition includes a preface adapted from Anaïs Nin's diary that establishes a context for the work's gestation, and a postscript to her diary entries in which she explains her desire to use 'women's language, seeing sexual experience from a woman's point of view'.
'Anaïs Nin excites male readers and incites female readers ... and she comes against life with a vital artistry and boldness' – The New York Times Book Review
About the Author |
|
Cuban-American Anaïs Nin (1903-1977) is best known for the eight published volumes of her Diaries, spanning six decades of her lifetime and exploring themes of female identity, sexuality, and self-discovery in a manner that seems ground-breaking even today. Born in France, she spent her childhood in Barcelona and New York. After her 1924 marriage, to banker Hugh Guiler, they moved to Paris until the outbreak of the Second World War. They returned to the USA, where Nin divided the rest of her life between New York and Los Angeles. Her writing is deeply autobiographical, as she found inspiration in her study of psychoanalysis and her personal connections to cultural figures of the 20th century like Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell, Gore Vidal, Antonin Artaud, Kenneth Anger, Jean Varda, Gloria Vanderbilt, Otto Rank, John Steinbeck and many more. Her literary work includes novels A Spy In The House of Love, Winter of Artifice, The Four-Chambered Heart and Collages and short story collections including posthumously published erotica Little Birds, Delta of Venus and Auletris. Her unapologetic pursuit of personal and artistic freedom, honed over a lifetime rich with emotional and intellectual experiences, offers modern readers a powerful model for understanding their own identities, emotions, and creative impulses. |
