Little Birds

by Anais Nin

Evocative and superbly erotic, Little Birds is a powerful journey into the mysterious world of sex and sensuality. From the beach towns of Normandy to the streets of New Orleans, these thirteen vignettes introduce us to a covetous French painter, a sleepless wanderer of the night, a guitar-playing gypsy, and a host of others who yearn for and dive into the turbulent depths of romantic experience.

Nin reminds me of Andrew Wyeth’s quote about his technique: “You can’t be nice around things. Like painting a nude— there’s got to be some ugliness there.” I don’t disagree, even though some of these stories bordered on too much. And some weren’t so much stories as abrupt vignettes.
