Delta of Venus: Erotica by Anais Nin

Thirty-five years ago, Anais Nin created the female language for sexuality. She did it for a wealthy male patron for $1 a page. He ordered her to "leave out the poetry," but she simply couldn't. The publication of Delta of Venus now makes available to the rest of us the seductive, erotic and full-bodied nature of her writing. And it reveals Anais Nin as a woman ahead of her time.
