Christopher and His Kind covers the most memorable ten 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. Isherwood candidly describes his life in gay Berlin of the 1930s and his struggles to save his companion, a German man named Heinz, from the Nazis.

"Indispensable for admirers of this truly masterly writer." New York Times Book Review
