Publisher Comments:

"One of contemporary literature's most important writers."-Newsweek

Anaïs Nin explores passion in all its forms, from two strangers on a moonlit Normandy beach to a woman's sudden fulfillment at a public hanging. Evocative, compelling, superbly erotic, Little Birds is a powerful journey into the mysterious world of sex and sensuality.

Anaïs Nin (1903-1977) was born in Paris and aspired at an early age to be a writer. An influential artist and thinker, she was the author of several novels, short stories, critical studies, a collection of essays, two volumes of erotica, and nine published volumes of her Diary.

Synopsis:

Evocative and superbly erotic, Little Birds is a powerful journey into the mysterious world of sex and sensuality. From the beach towns of Normandy to the streets of New Orleans, these thirteen vignettes introduce us to a covetous French painter, a sleepless wanderer of the night, a guitar-playing gypsy, and a host of others who yearn for and dive into the turbulent depths of romantic experience.

Little Birds is a colourful collection of short erotic stories. On initial reading some of the stories seem quite perverse, Little Birds in particular plays with ideas of peadophillia, in that the male character enjoys exposing himself to young school girls. Depsite the fact that some of Nin's stories make for quite an uncomfortable read, each story is a beautifully crafted and deeply sexual piece of literature, suggesting an openess to new desires. Nin was writing at a time of feminine repression and was leading the way for female expression of sexuality.
