Leaving these aside, these stories would be read purely for the freedom of the female characters. The reason for this is entirely due to the brutality of the stories. While I read some stories in shock, I read some stories in horror.
Because when you think about it, it’s really amazing to read that female characters can be just as sex-hungry and open and free about it as men.ĭelta of Venus contains “deviant” narratives such as sadism, incest, rape, BDSM, paedophilia, necrophilia and so on. Although, I am not sure how correct it is to criticize the Delta of Venus in terms of its place in the history of literature. I don’t know how right it is to expect erotic stories to be literary, but I expect to enjoy literary pleasure from every book I read.
When I read this information and the reader’s wishes who placed the order, I thought that it is not a subject that the author specifically wanted to write about, but I wonder how much it differs from what she wanted to write.Īnd frankly, I found all the stories to be very poor from a literary point of view. Delta of Venus consists of erotic stories that Anaïs Nin wrote for a dollar a page at a time when she needed money.
