Product Description

Alice Walker

"[It is] so distinct an advance in the depiction of female sensuality that I felt, on reading it, enormous gratitude." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

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. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic erotica., Aug 31 2009

By	Jessica Goodall - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Little Birds (Paperback)

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

This review is from: Little Birds (Paperback)

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)

This review is from: Little Birds (Paperback)

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
Anais writes erotica like no other writer. She makes you feel what her characters are feeling. You escape into their world of fantasy. Anais brings out the erotic side in you. Read more
