A review by libbysbookshelf
Little Birds by Anaïs Nin

Described as “groundbreaking erotic writings”, this collection of short stories by a writer I’ve long been meaning to read did not disappoint. 

I briefly discussed this with @pintofbooks and he asked me to tell him my favourites once I’d read them all, but I found that so difficult because I enjoyed each of them so much. Some were more problematic than others such as the one about paedophilia, the one about fetishisation of Black woman and the multiple ones that blurred the lines around consent, but all of them brought to life feelings of desire and fantasy and lust. It would be a great collection to discuss because it is so controversial, but that’s part of the reason why I enjoyed it so much. 

I also enjoy books that make me reflect on my own self and my sexuality and this book certainly does that! I’ll leave it to you to read it and see what I mean…
