"Indispensable for admirers of this truly masterly writer."

Review

"Indispensable for admirers of this truly masterly writer."--Peter Stansky, The New York Times Book Review

"The best prose writer in English... The later Isherwood is even better than the early cameraman."--Gore Vidal, The New York Review of Books

"Isherwood freely discusses a dimension of his experience previously repressed in his fiction, his homosexuality. And in telling the truth about himself, he ultimately transcs the limits of autobiography to write what is, in effect, another novel."-- Paul Piazza, The Washington Post

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of a Kind, Mai 5 2003
This review is from: Christopher and His Kind (Paperback)
This book is one of a kind....brilliant, great, adventurous, a classic. Words do not describe it. Isherwood lays evertything on the table. He shows all his cards. This is one of the most exciting books I've ever read. I'm a college student and I skipped all of the ten thousand other books I have to read in order to read this one. It was not a waste of time. Once you get into this book it's a blast. The best part is following Isherwood across Europe. If you want the definitive feeling about the Modern Era read this book. You will get to know such characters as EM Forster, W.H. Auden, and Virginia Woolfe.....Gee, ever heard of them? This is the last great classic Isherwood wrote. I was so entranced by the words that I stayed up all night to finnish it. It's defintiely on my all time favorite list.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Interesting Read- rewarding for the patient, Déc 12 2001
Par "rihock" (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Christopher and His Kind (Paperback)
I will admit to being slightly put off by the text when I first started reading it. However, once past the unique construction of grammar and syntax, it was an enjoyable experience. I found the filter of the English class system, homosexuality and 1920's mores an interesting perspective. I would recommend reading some of Isherwood's other texts before undertaking this one as many of the stories and characters are freely referenced and revealed in a truer light. The descriptions of Germany are unique to his age and thoroughly fascinating. The story of the man he tries to save from the Nazi's is interesting, but I particularly liked the end of the novel where he broaches the future and seeking love, and true companionship. Overall I fine read.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Isherwood discovers Berlin and boys, Fév 11 1997
Par Un client
Christopher Isherwood makes it clear in his introduction that this book will be candid about his homosexuality. It begins with his move to Berlin and covers the time up to his move to America. There are fascinating anecdotes: the character of Sally Bowles (later made famous by "Cabaret") was named after the then unknown but handsome American Paul Bowles. Isherwood read E.M. Forster's "Maurice" in manuscript, decades before it was published. These are just a few. And note: his "Diaries: Volume 1" begins just *after* this book (the earlier diaries were destroyed)
