DELTA OF VENUS
by Anais Nin · Harcourt Brace Jovanovich
7 wks on list

Ambientados en torno al París de la época e hilados por la aparición recurrente de personajes comunes de distinta importancia según cada cuento, ofrecen una visión libre de las relaciones humanas, en la que el erotismo y el ansia de placer no excluyen ni la belleza ni el sentimiento, ni la amistad ni la búsqueda de la autenticidad.

Several patients, admitted to the hospital for minor surgery, never awoke. For some inexplicable reason, their brains had been destroyed
