You Do Know Who Isherwood Is?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Christopher Isherwood's name and the breadth of his work is completely overshadowed by a musical adaptation of just one of his short stories. One of the best writers of memoir, reportage and fiction of the twentieth century, his work will one day appear on required reading syllabi alongside Hemingway, Faulkner and Fitzgerald. In the meantime, please read and share this book. The demi-biographical stories presented in "Where Joy Resides" demonstrate Isherwood's ability to consolidate place, time, character and emotion into a concise and highly readable presentation. Although a diverse selection, the reader will finish the book with an understanding and affinity for the author. Spend a weekend "Where Joy Resides," and I'm confident you will not remember Christopher Isherwood as the guy who wrote "Caberet."
