The Isherwood Century cover

Called “the best English prose writer of this century” by Gore Vidal, Christopher Isherwood is best known for Goodbye to Berlin—the inspiration for the musical Cabaret—but is also the author of plays, novels, and diaries. The Isherwood Century gathers twenty-four essays and interviews offering a fresh, in-depth view of Isherwood, his literary legacy, and his continuing influence as both a literary and a gay pioneer.

"The Isherwood Century allows us to see [Isherwood's] long and colorful life as an expression of the freedom to reinvent oneself." - Los Angeles Times
