A review by eb00kie
Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin

challenging dark funny reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Reading this again, with an eye for purple prose, motifs, parallels and common elements was a much more pleasant experience. It was a pioneer work and as such it needn't be perfect, or good, but it is striking and complex, and if one claims otherwise, I question their reasoning. The cultural impact it had is also remarkable.
