Christopher Isherwood
Diaries
Volume 1: 1939-1960
In spare, luminous prose these diaries describe Isherwood's search for a new life in California; his work as a screenwriter in Hollywood, his pacifism during World War II and his friendships with such gifted artists and intellectuals as Garbo, Chaplin, Thomas Mann, Charles Laughton, Gielgud, Olivier, Richard Burton and Aldous Huxley.
(note: volumes 2 and 3 are available elsewhere and have been for a while, but the first volume is elusive).
Many thanks and have a good week...
