3 posts | 2 read | 7 to read
'What did she expect of him? What was her quest? Did she have an unfulfilled desire?' Transgressive desires and sexual encounters are recounted in these four pieces from one of the greatest writers of erotic fiction. Penguin Modern: fifty new books celebrating the pioneering spirit of the iconic Penguin Modern Classics series, with each one offering a concentrated hit of its contemporary, international flavour. Here are authors ranging from Kathy Acker to James Baldwin, Truman Capote to Stanislaw Lem and George Orwell to Shirley Jackson; essays radical and inspiring; poems moving and disturbing; stories surreal and fabulous; taking us from the deep South to modern Japan, New York's underground scene to the farthest reaches of outer space.

5/5 star. A beautifully written and poetic piece of fiction. I am officially in love. Anaïs Nin, you may have my heart and soul. This is material that I usually have no interest in reading at all but after hearing such wonderful things about Nin I decided to give her a try with this little book. I am so glad I did! I can‘t wait to buy and read more of her books and diaries. #anaisnin #booklover #bookblog #bookaddict #bookworm #bookstamums

I am in love. Pinch me I‘m dreaming, Anaïs Nin... you are welcome to my immortal soul. Take it all! Take it! Her writing is so impeccably beautiful. I‘ve only read the first story in this tiny collection and I am awestruck that anyone can make such magical and poetic prose with such themes! Someone buy me all the Anaïs Nin and I will love always. ?? #anaisnin #bookaddict #booklover #bookblog #bookish #bookworm #bookstamums #currentlyreading

ā€œI like the hungry way she looks at meā€ - Anaïs Nin.

I‘ve heard so many beautiful things said about Anaïs Nin and so am dedicating my summer to discovering her works. I‘m starting small with this penguin Modern and going from there. #anaisnin #penguin #bookaddict #booklover #bookblog #bookish #bookworm #bookstamums
