![]() The novel is semi-autobiographical, which means the author, Etaf Rum - who herself is a child of Palestinian immigrants - is intimately familiar with the experiences and subjects she probes in the book. ![]() In the end, though, this novel powerfully reminds women that if they're brave enough to find their voice, it can transform their lives. This is a poignant story that deftly explores the immigrant experience, oppressive gender roles, domestic violence, as well as cultural expectations & taboos. The novel offers us a glimpse into the difficult lives of three generations of Palestinian-American women and shows how an oppressive culture can shatter dreams, silence voices, and damage lives. ![]()

I do not deny the fact that Nin has a controversial penchant and undeniable talent in writing such a genre in comparison, to let's say, the author of Fifty Shades. I am afraid the effect Nin might have been aiming for did not reach me at all. And whilst this book is disturbing it disturbs me more that I have fallen asleep reading it. However creative and provoking this is, unfortunately, it can get repetitive and not enough to keep me from falling asleep twice or thrice. ![]() Stream songs including Delta of Venus - Part 1, Delta of Venus - Part 2 and more. From pedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia, incest, ménage à trois to somnophilia (you name it this have it like a porn site menu in written form), these do not suffice to form any literary appreciation in my mind that tries to separate itself from my own personal moral code. Listen to Delta of Venus by Anas Nin & Ingrid Pitt on Apple Music. Interspersed with interesting bouts of obsession, violence, perversity, and the offensive in a series of short stories where some are linked, the capability of humans to act on their animalistic needs resulting in filthy and horrendous sexual behaviours and relations are as disgusting as one can imagine.
