"my love for anais nin grew from my reading of her diaries. the diaries set the standard for me... and little birds was a let-down. i was expecting more subtlety and suggestiveness and fire in the language. but still... i love you, anais nin. for your diaries."
"An interesting collection of very short erotic stories. I don't read very much erotica, so I can't compare this to anything, really, but it did certainly remind me of Memoirs of a Beatnik in many ways. Some of the writing is lovely, some is awful. The characters are mostly caricatures, but overall I liked it alright and was able to read the whole thing in just two hours. I suspect that if the stories individually and the book as a whole weren't so short, I might have grown bored. I'd really like to read Nin's journals now, because I suspect those will be a bit more substantive."
"i found this book at the used book store in centreville where i worked for a short time between germany and moving back to pittsburgh...this was the first i read of anais nin, and some of the most beautiful, erotic writing i have ever encountered. i recently revived my interest in her after seeing the film 'henry and june,' which, while problematic in some ways (sexualized sexual violence) is a very beautiful, stylish, sensuous writers' autobiography (it illustrates the relationship between nin and henry miller while both were living in paris in the 1920's). kind of the fantasy of what an artists'/writers' life could be. a tenent of nin's writing and the film is moving through life with innocence while having free sexual relationships, a line that resonates with the I Ching, another book I have been glued to lately...I love it when disparate threads synergize. These stories really turned on my teenage mind and still resonate today."
"My boyfriend had pulled this off the bookshelf and I thought he was going to read it. Turns out he was just looking for something to put under the laptop to shield his lap from the heat. (apropos) No matter. I took it as a sign and decided to read it. I loved 'Henry and June' so thought I might really like these stories. As far as erotica goes, it was pretty tame by today's standards. It's funny to see how many times a person can write the words "fever", "heat" and "hardness" in one story. The writing was fairly simple and straightforward. Not nearly as emotional as her diaries. But I still love her. I think taken in context, at the time writing these stories must have been very daring."
