About The Author
Christopher Isherwood
Christopher Isherwood (1904-1986) was one of the most celebrated writers of his generation. He left Cambridge without graduating, briefly studied medicine, and then turned to writing his first novels, All the Conspirators and The Memorial.
Between 1929 and 1939, he lived mainly abroad, spending four years in Berlin and writing the novels Mr Norris Changes Trains and Goodbye to Berlin, on which the musical Cabaret was based.
He moved to America in 1939, becoming a US citizen in 1946. He wrote another five novels, including Down There on a Visit and A Single Man, a travel book about South America, and a biography of the Indian mystic Ramakrishna.
In the late 1960s and ‘70s, he turned to autobiographical works: Kathleen and Frank, Christopher and His Kind, My Guru and His Disciple, and October, one month of his diary with drawings by Don Bachardy.
