Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin
3.0
I normally don't read erotica, but I received this collection of short stories as a gift and figured I'd give it a try.
I actually really enjoyed Nin's "no nonsense" style of writing and her descriptions. As for the stories, very few intrigued me. But Nin does preface Delta of Venus that she wrote these stories for the pure pleasure of a particular male client who didn't want any poetry, just the down and dirty sex.
And that's exactly what you'll get. Some stories are funny, many have violence, some have incest. They are indeed across the board.
I might read another Nin novel, but erotic in general doesn't whet my appetite. (Did you see what I did there?!)
