Down There on a Visit

By Christopher Isherwood, 1962
Simon and Schuster - 1st edition with DJ

Intended to be part of The Lost, the unfinished epic novel that would also incorporate Isherwood's famous Berlin Stories, Down There on a Visit traces classic Isherwood themes. A bemused, sometimes acidic portrait of people caught in private sexual hells of their own making. Its four episodes are connected by four narrators. All are called "Christopher Isherwood," but each is a different character inhabiting a new Berlin in 1928, the Greek Isles in 1933, London in 1938, and California in 1940. Down There on a Visit is a major work that shows Isherwood at the height of his literary powers.

Near fine. Book as new, DJ is price clipped with some yellowing.
