Forster, Somerset Maugham, Stephen Spender, Gore Vidal and Tennessee Williams.

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

http://www.artsworld.com/books-film/biographies/g-i/christopher-isherwood.html

Extractions: Christopher Isherwood came from an old established family against whose traditions he showed himself, at the beginning of his literary career, to be in extreme revolt. He was educated at Repton and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. He studied medicine for a time at King's College, London, and then, after the publication of his first novel 'All the Conspirators' in 1928, left for Berlin where he earned a modest living as a teacher of English. In 'The Memorial', his second novel (1932), some of the psychological tensions behind this turn in his life may perhaps be glimpsed. 'Mr Norris Changes' (1935) and 'Goodbye to Berlin' were ironic and compassionate pictures of Berlin during the death throes of the Weimar Republic and of the foreign birds of passage who were temporarily drawn there. In these two books Isherwood perfected the technique of the 'camera eye', a narrator who was never, under the surface, less than a partial observer of the scene. A fondness for the fantastical became apparent after his departure from Germany when he began to write plays with WH Auden. After his expedition to China with Auden in 1938 (which resulted in a travel book, 'Journey to a War'), Isherwood left for America, applied for American citizenship and eventually settled in California which remained his home for the rest of his life. Later, he became interested in making stage adaptations of his shorter novels, and wrote several scripts for television films.

Extractions: Pronunciation Key Isherwood, Christopher , British-American author. After the appearance of his first novel, All the Conspirators (1928), Isherwood went to Germany. The four years he spent there furnished him with the material for what are probably his best novels, The Last of Mr. Norris (1935) and Goodby to Berlin (1939; reissued as The Berlin Stories, 1946); these books formed the basis for John Van Druten's play, I Am a Camera (1951), and for the Broadway musical Cabaret (1966). The Berlin novels, which report on the period of social and political unrest during the Nazi rise to power, illustrate Isherwood's general concern with the problem of the intellectual in a tyrannical society. A close friend of W. H. Auden , Isherwood collaborated with him on the dramas The Dog Beneath the Skin The Ascent of F6 (1936), and On the Frontier (1938), as well as on Journey to a War (1939), a book on China. Isherwood emigrated (1939) to the United States, becoming a citizen (1946). During the 1940s his interests turned to Hinduism; see his Essentials of Vedanta (1969). Among his later works are
