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.
Anaïs Nin was born in Neuilly, France, to Joaquín Nin, a Cuban pianist and composer, and Rosa Culmell, [2] a classically trained Cuban singer. [3] Her father's grandfather had fled France during the French Revolution, going first to Saint-Domingue, then New Orleans, and finally to Cuba, where he helped build the country's first railway.
The collection of short stories that makes up this anthology was written during the 1940s for a private client known simply as "Collector". This "Collector" commissioned Nin, along with other now well-known writers (including Henry Miller and the poet George Barker), to produce erotic fiction for his private consumption. [3]
