The Delta of Venue By Anais N She was the first woman to write erotica and as she says in the preface “ It will show that women have never separated sex from feeling…:
This is the classic book of erotic literature. Anais Nin seems to have achieved the near impossible - to write sex well! She is the supreme master of describing the nuances of sexual encounters, whether brief and suggestive or explicit and complex. They fall off the page without the hideous embarrassment that many descriptions of sex can illicit. The stories range from a Hungarian adventurer seducing wealthy women then vanishing with their money; a veiled woman selecting strangers from a chic restaurant for private trysts; and a Parisian hat maker named Mathilde leaving her husband for the opium dens of Peru. Nin was asked to write all of these varied tales in the 1940s for one client who commissioned her privately to do so. She was the first woman to write erotica and as she says in the preface “ It will show that women have never separated sex from feeling…: Within are tales to cover all sexual desires and depravities… there is bound to be one tale that speaks to you. Most people have a well thumbed story or doggedeared page they keep going back to.
