A review by tiastillman
Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin

challenging dark sad medium-paced

3.0

This book is a collection of erotica- a lot of it being very hard to digest. Overall very disturbing- but it had to be. I can see the point this book is trying to make but for me personally it was a bit too intense. Very interesting when you realise all of this was sourced for some sickos ‘private collection’.

However I will note this book sent me down an Opium Den rabbit hole. That particular scene was so well written that  I had no choice but to learn the entire history of opium + the opioid crisis. Controversial opinion but we need to bring back opium dens.
