Four portraits, four settings, four narrators, all known as 'Christopher Isherwood'.
Berlin, 1928. The Greek islands, 1932. London, 1938. California, 1940. Christopher is a tourist, both practically and spiritually, and these are his postcards home. Across the years, he roams restlessly in search of a place to belong and a way of life that is worth living. Which of the guides he encounters will bring meaning to his existence: the businessman, the utopian, the guru or the geisha? As Christopher grapples with the nature of his own future, the world around him marches on relentlessly, toward a future dark with war.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY PHILIP HENSHER
