A review by graygarrido
Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin
3.0
Anaïs Nin pushes what can be defined as erotic with Delta of Venus. Within Delta of Venus there are no limits to the erotic. It all exists outside of societal norms & human morals. The reader is a voyeur within this word, forced to witness heinous acts, making the reader just as a guilty as the person committing the heinous act in the first place.
Delta of Venus becomes less about the act of having sex and more about language and the atmosphere. Nin’s writing coaxes the reader into getting wrapped up in the sensuality of the words and to put aside that what she’s writing about is morally wrong.
I can’t even begin to imagine how this book was received when it was published.
