Little Birds is Anaïs Nin's second published work of erotica, which appeared in 1979 two years after her death,but was apparently written in the early 1940s when she was part of a group "writing pornography for a dollar a day."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 and in the dialectic of discourse and intercourse.
