I also like "The Basque and Bijou" about a prostitute who becomes an artist's model and girlfriend, and the resulting complications between them. This is very interesting from a feministic perspective because it goes into detail about the roles that women from very different walks of like felt constrained by in the 1920's/1930's.

This is the type of intersection between pornography and character-driven drama with complex plotlines, combined in a genuinely stylish and artistic manner, that was popular in the 1970's and to some extent the 1980's but has fallen out of favour since then. (a sign of people in the past being more openminded than now, at least in some ways?)
At any rate, this collection is a 5/5 just for the story "Elena" alone.
