goodbye to berlin - it seemed appropriate to start reading christopher isherwood's goodbye to berlin having just returned from there. i finished the behindlings the other night, which i had been reading while away, a review is half written and will be posted when done.
goodbye to berlin was written based on isherwood's own experiences in berlin, in fact he is the narrator of the book, where he spent a number of years in the 1930s. the back drop is the increasing problems the country was facing on the run up to the second world war. something i can particularly appreciate having just done the whole tourist thing of visiting the parliament building and the bits of the wall and all that kind of thing.
