Christopher Isherwood (1904-1986), perhaps the first major openly gay writer to be read extensively by a wider audience, was one of the most distinguished authors of the twentieth century. His literary friendships encompassed such writers as W. H. Auden, E. M. Forster, Stephen Spender, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, and Somerset Maugham. Armistead Maupin is the author of nine novels including the six-volume Tales of the City series and Michael Tolliver Lives.
"In Isherwood's work, a magic potion of history and invention, the
voice is clear, and, no matter how many times we hear it, it always
seems to be speaking for the first time."
*Howard Moss - The New York Times*
"The best prose writer in English."
*Gore Vidal*
"The line between fiction and memoir is often thin in Isherwood’s
writing, but that’s what gives this book its special insight: He
had a front-row seat to life in Berlin in this dark historical
moment, and he reveals it to us on a human scale."
*Pamela Newton - The Atlantic*
