What this book is about
Anaïs Nin's most celebrated erotic fiction was written in the 1940s for a private collector who paid her a dollar a page to write erotica. The fifteen stories range widely in content. Nin was a major literary figure and the writing is more literary than most erotica. Some stories contain content involving minors that Nin herself noted with discomfort in her introduction. The explicit sexual content is the primary element throughout.
