Do you think erotica can ever pass for literature or do you think those who suggest such a thing, like me, need a good talking to? Tagged as Anais Nin , Erotica. I read Delta of Venus a number of years ago and barely recall it; I have a few other Anais Nin books on my shelves and I must read them.
Thank you for this enticing and thought provoking review. Thank you for that lovely comment Meike, very kind and means a lot. She is marvellous, there is so much more going on than just the saunciness, which is actually very funny at certain times. Hope you enjoy her when you try her. I read Delta of Venus a few years ago, and I would certainly agree that it is literature, not porn. Oh you know how I love Victorian things, have never tried any of their minxish works!
Email me what its called, I might have to look it up. We will see, this for me is literature though I get what you mean about the fuzzy line… which sounds rude. I think it just comes down to whether it is vular or tasteful, and the refinement of the prose. I would think this would fit the bill. To me, that is the ultimate double-dog dare. Hahahaha its less a dare in terms of the sexual parts of the book more as there are some dark depths going on with it all. Definitley give her a whirl.
I always thought she would have become a Virago book I know it will be to do with rights etc but you know what I mean? I read this many years ago. Yes you are right it is well written so if that makes it literature it is. I was wondering this after reading the book actually Harriet as there are lots of books nowadays with sex in some awfully written so what makes a book go from one genre to another? Interesting question and food for thought. I have read A Spy in the House of Love and thought it was utterly marvellous. Like Harriet, I am not quite sure when any of the boundaries around erotica, porn, and literature form, except for the very strict boundaries of genres like yaoi.
I have heard A Spy in the House of Love is very very good and actually I have seen that at the library so thats my next book to pick up I think. I was thrilled to read your review as I went through a bit of an Anais Nin phase a few years ago and wrote an article on her in Pen Pusher Magazine have you ever come across it? It is quite a fun literary rag. I think that you make a good point when you bring out hw beautiful her prose is — it really is easy to believe that she spent her life, when not actually having sex, practicing her writing.
I am inclined to say that there is a difference as you say between porn and erotica but that does not mean to say that any particular book is easily identifiable as one or another — I bet that a lot are quite ambiguous. I think that AN is clearly erotica though. I very much recommend her biography which is by Deirdre Bair.
Lovely post thanks indeed, and happy Wednesday!
Delta of Venus: Erotica by Anaïs Nin and millions of other books are available for .. Try the Kindle edition and experience these great reading features: to dislike all of these characters and had to slog through the second half of the book . Editorial Reviews. Review. PRAISE FOR DELTA OF VENUS "A joyous display of the erotic out alright at first, but as I got further into the book I started to dislike all of these characters and had to slog through the second half of the book.
I have never heard of Pen Pusher Magazine, I will have to have a gander at it. That she was able to do all you mentioned and within the context of a short story is a testament to her artistry. Oh I dont think anything, not that I have actually read any, that currently states its erotica is a patch on this. I think though maybe Nin always wrote something different from the mainstream erotica then though, or wrote underlying things that said more than others of its kind.
I think I lost myself in what I was trying to say there hahaha. One of my friends has a saying: Haha thats really made me laugh Deb! Yes lots of silk scarves around.
But what is there in porn? I am confused by the quote a little? I think there is a difference in that erotica is well written and will keep you reading with an emphasis on the story itself and porn is just the same scene repeated every few pages which gets pretty monotonous would you believe. I read Delta of Venus many years ago and thought it was an interesting read.
Hmmm interesting read, I can never work out what people mean when they say it, even myself sometimes. I think there is an enormous difference as well, and to me, that difference includes the intention behind porn and the intention behind erotica. It combines these elements and is not necessarily intended for sexual gratification, although it may for some.
So one seems less offensive to me than another. So would I consider it porn or erotica?
Much as it pains me to do so, I would have to go with the latter. For me, porn is very simple and designed to have a strictly visceral appeal. I agree with the general sentiment here that while erotica also focuses on sex, it does so in a creative, artistic way. Some great books are about war, some are about sex. Much as I hate Miller, I have to admit that he really was a talented writer. I wouldnt say that Nin had the same attitude towards women as Miller did, though of course they were together, I do wonder if Miller said that purely to be controversial. It helps sales, both then and now.
A film could have lots of sex but still be considered artsy or serious, right? I remember reading The Fermata which is absolutely filthy but also hilarious and brilliantly written.
Not such a bad list of titles, all things considered. He knows there will be secrets, but with the help of his friends living and dead, he has no idea how deep they go. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich,, [].. January 24, at 5: I thought this was one of the best erotic films I've seen. Free Inspector Singh Investigates:
I am glad that you made me pick these up 50p for this and Little Birds way back as this was a wonderful, shocking, saucy, funny and thought provoking read. I have never heard of the film Henry and June! I would be really interested in seeing that I wonder if its one that lovefilm have? I get the feeling anything you find out about Miller the less you would want to read anything by him, but then I bet that applies to more authors than we could think!
And your review left me wanting to give Nin a try. I think if I ever get another cat and its a girl that I might have to call it Anais!
Maybe I could call the other Nin hahaha. I would love your thoughts on Anais Nin, I think that you would find the prose beautiful so do give her a try if you can find her at your marvellous library. I enjoyed what Judy Chicago did with excerpts of the text.
