A pioneer for openly homosexual writers
20 Jun 2008
Format:Hardcover
A pioneer for openly homosexual writers, Christopher Isherwood was known for more than just being a gay author - he was a master of his craft who didn't let that label control everything he did. Writing novels alongside for film and theater, Christopher Isherwood was one of the better writers of the 20th century and now in "Isherwood on Writing" we now hear from the man himself as he discusses his craft and the life and times of his heyday in London and Hollywood and literary friendships with other great authors such as Virginia Woolf and Aldous Huxley. Despite all the notes that may suggest otherwise, Isherwood comes out as profoundly American, making "Isherwood on Writing" highly recommended for both academic and community library biography, literary studies, and gay studies reference collections.

Especially wonderful is Berg's introduction which has led me on to even more reading materials about gay writers. Have ordered several books he has talked about. Also great are the lectuers themselves giving more and more insight into Isherwood's way of thinking and writing. Excellent reading.
