Christopher Isherwood
À propos de cet audio
Christopher and His Kind covers the most memorable 10 years in the writer's life, from 1929, when Isherwood left England to spend a week in Berlin and decided to stay there indefinitely, to 1939, when he arrived in America. When the book was published in 1976, readers were deeply impressed by the courageous candor with which he describes his life in gay Berlin of the 1930s and his struggles to save his companion, Heinz, from the Nazis.
An engrossing and dramatic story, and a fascinating glimpse into a little-known world, Christopher and His Kind remains a classic in gay liberation literature and one of Isherwood's greatest achievements.
©1976 Christopher Isherwood (P)1976 HighBridge CompanyCe que les critiques en disent
"Isherwood freely discusses a dimension of his experience previously repressed in his fiction, his homosexuality. And in telling the truth about himself, he ultimately transcends the limits of autobiography to write what is, in effect, another novel." ( The Washington Post)
"The best prose writer in English...The later Isherwood is even better than the early cameraman." (Gore Vidal)

Do not imagine this is the 2011 film with details.
I saw the film, then listened to the book on the theory that it would be even more interesting. Not so. The narrator, Isherwood, is narcissistically fascinated with every event of his life, every love object, every sex act, every friend and every city, town, village he ever entered. The film's screenplay selects and arranges from this plethora of facts and factoids a coherent and engaging plot. As a history the book provides a first-hand account of Berlin and Europe thru the tumultuous years of 1931-8 and later. Christopher is so driven by his life of affections that he dispassionately reports the storm gathering around him, except as it affects his German boyfriend.
