Product Details

Product Description

Alice Walker

"[It is] so distinct an advance in the depiction of female sensuality that I felt, on reading it, enormous gratitude."


Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic erotica., Aug 31 2009
By Jessica Goodall - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a collection of classic erotica writing from Anais Nin. I had read this some time ago and just recently revisted it. It still holds up, but I have to tell you, moderan erotica is a lot hotter. I think the author was a pioneer in her time with her writing and for that she deserves five stars for this timeless classic. Another good classic: Sleeping Beauty Trilogy Boxed Set.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, wondrous, extraordinary filth., Jun 13 2004
By mary (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
Little Birds is a compilation of Anais Nin at her best - these stories are jagged, sweet little pieces of the author herself. As you read them, you reassemble them for a clearer picture of her. Nin was far ahead of her day, always. She can be outright disgusting, but in a way that is absolutely beautiful and touching. She brings out things we've all thought of. And some of have acutally acted upon - if you have not, Anais Nin will inspire you to do so.

Choosing a favorite is nearly impossible. They are all good and so elegantly constructed that when they are over, you don't want them to be .... you are left wondering what is to become of these characters that have been breathed to life by their creator.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hooked on Anais Nin!, April 5 2004
By CoffeeGurl (MA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Having read Delta of Venus, I couldn't wait to read another Anais Nin book. Little Birds is the follow-up to Venus. Again, Nin captures your intellect as well as your senses with her dark, lurid and erotic stories. "The Model" is my favorite vignette. Stories that center on painters of nude men and women and their models are always insatiable. This one, of course, is not an exception. I must point out, however, that this effort does not exceed Delta of Venus. The first collection is far more memorable than this one. Even so, Anais Nin explores female desires with unflinching clarity. Little Birds is a true masterpiece written by a woman for women. What beautiful effort! I shall read more of her work in the future...

4.0 out of 5 stars Nin's sexual sublimation
Nin, in this interesting collection of very short stories, tersely and quietly impugns the social stigma of promiscuity in a greater context of fantasy and symbol. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars You won't want this to end!
Let me begin by saying that I had not previously read Nin before, but was recommended to it. I was familiar with the works of Pauline Reage - but this took my breath away. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, yet again

4.0 out of 5 stars Elegantly sensual
I adore this book. It's really erotic, but tasteful and refined; it also is cleverly written and sensual, so much that you'll be transported into the stories. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Nin's best work
Little Birds is far from Nin's best. The stories stop short of true eroticism by leaving the reader abrubtly cut off at the end.
