Little Birds is Anaïs Nin's second published work of erotica, which appeared in 1979 two years after her death,[1] but was apparently written in the early 1940s when she was part of a group "writing pornography for a dollar a day."[2]
The book is a collection of thirteen short stories. The sexual topics covered are quite varied, ranging from pedophilia to lesbianism, but linked by an interest in female subjectivity[3] and in the dialectic of discourse and intercourse.[4] Many of the same characters that appear in Delta of Venus, her first published book of erotica, reappear here.
