Ladders to Fire

E.P. Dutton & Company, 1946. First edition, ex-library copy.

Nin’s writing is deep, revelatory, and erotic; a true feminist icon. Her worked paved the way for female written erotica in the west and the solidified herself as a master of the craft, often being called one of best and finest writers of in the genre.
