[Mark Farley · Rating 5 out of 5]

In the anonymous "Intsruments of the Passion", a handwritten manuscript was discovered in 1990 during the demolition of a group of houses in Grosvenor Square, London depicting a brutal Victorian Sado-Masochistic memoir about a student who visits an institution called Rossiter on the outskirts of the city. There he is sent to document the daily sexual and almost religious torture of a girl.Throughout his time, he is disgusted and both aroused by what he sees and asks questions about his own desires as well as his longing to rescue the girl from the cult of many men. Was this a memoir or an attempt to enter the literary world of London? Elsewhere, a lost novel from Anais Nin called "White Stains", I will leave that to your imagination, that one that brought you to this review in the first place.

[Gin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although the book has a variety of stories, some spread out in a few chapters, some anonymous, it falls into some very stereotypical plots, and i found it very repetitive. I was expecting something else from Anais Nin and friends and the rest of the writers.
