2000ace 's review for:

Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin

4.0

---

Anais Nin is engaged in a high wire act here, balancing finely-tuned prose written from the perspective of the women in the stories, without plunging into the muck where most eroticism descends. Not only is this work elegant in both ambiance and description, but it conveys an aura of exoticism as heady as a cloud of French perfume.
