What is the setting of Little Birds: Erotica by Anais Nin?

The story's time frame isn't specified but it seems to have taken place during the early adult life of the author, Anais Nin who lived from 1903 to 1977. The characters will sometimes be on the beach or simply in a house in the city. New York and Paris will be two places that the story is set but many different parts of the world will be discussed.
