I personally think there is a huge divide between pornography and erotica. 'Anaïs Nin excites male readers and incites female readers. If you enjoyed Delta of Venus, you might like Stephen Vizinczey's In Praise of Older Women, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. During her later years Anaïs Nin lectured frequently at universities throughout the USA, in 1974 and was elected to the United States National Institute of Arts and Letters. In the 1940s she began to write erotica for an anonymous client, and these pieces are collected in Delta of Venus and Little Birds (both published posthumously). Her prose poem, House of Incest (1936) was followed by the collection of three novellas, collected as Winter of Artifice (1939). Anaïs Nin (1903-1977), born in Paris, was the daughter of a Franco-Danish singer and a Cuban pianist. 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'. Her vibrant and impassioned prose evokes the essence of female sexuality in a world where only love has meaning. 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.
