   Extractions: Christopher Isherwood (1906-1986) - Byname of Christopher William Bradshaw-Isherwood Anglo-American novelist and playwright, best known for his stories about Berlin in the early 1930s. Isherwood's novels were based largely on his own life. Many of his famous literary friends appeared in his books under different names, including W.H. Auden, Stephen Spender, and Virginia Woolf. "I am a camera with its shuter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking. Recording the man shaving at the window opposite and the woman in the kimono washing her hair. Some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed." (from Goodbye to Berlin "The audience took the fights dead seriously, shouting encouragements to the fighters, and even quarreling and betting amongst themselves or the results. Yet nearly all of them had been in the tent as long as I had, and stayed after I had left. The political moral is certainly depressing: these people could be made to believe in anybody and anything." (from Good-bye to Berlin Mr Norris Changes Trains , he notes that his eyes were "the eyes of a schoolboy surprised in the act of breaking one of the rules. Not that I had caught him, apparently, at anything excepts his own thoughts..." Other characters include Sally Bowles, the embodiment of carefree individualism.

    Extractions: d. Jan. 4, 1986, Santa Monica, California, U.S. byname OF CHRISTOPHER WILLIAM BRADSHAW-ISHERWOOD Anglo-American novelist and playwright best known for his novels about Berlin in the early 1930s. After working as a secretary and a private tutor, Isherwood gained a measure of coterie recognition with his first two novels, All the Conspirators (1928) and The Memorial (1932). During the 1930s he collaborated with his friend W.H. Auden on three verse dramas, including The Ascent of F6 (1936). But it had been in 1929 that he found the theme that was to make him widely known. Between 1929 and 1933 he lived in Berlin, gaining an outsider's view of the simultaneous decay of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Nazism. His novels Mr. Norris Changes Trains (1935; The Last of Mr. Norris) and Goodbye to Berlin (1939), which were later published together as The Berlin Stories, established his reputation as an important writer and inspired the play I Am a Camera (1951; film 1955) and the musical

    Extractions: page: A major Anglo-American novelist and a pioneer in the gay liberation movement, Christopher Isherwood created gay characters whose homosexuality is a simple given, an integral part of the wholeness of personality and an emblem of their common humanity. Born into a distinguished Cheshire family on August 26, 1904, Christopher Isherwood was educated at Repton School and Corpus Christi, Cambridge. After leaving Cambridge without a degree in 1925, he renewed his friendship with W. H. Auden, his former classmate at St. Edmund's preparatory school. Sponsor Message. For over ten years, the two shared an unromantic relationship in which sex gave their friendship an added dimension. Two years his junior, Auden cast Isherwood in the role of literary mentor and soon introduced him to a fellow Oxford undergraduate, Stephen Spender. The trio formed the nucleus of what would later be called The Auden Gang, the angry young writers who dominated the English literary scene of the 1930s. From 1930 to 1933, Isherwood lived in Berlin, where he felt released from the social and sexual inhibitions that stifled his development in England. Immersing himself in the bohemian world of male prostitutes, he lived almost anonymously in shabbily genteel and working-class areas of the city and began translating his experience of the demimonde into what would eventually become the unsurpassed portrait of pre-Hitler Germany, the Berlin stories.
