Christopher and His Kind

Index Christopher and His Kind

Christopher and His Kind is a memoir by Christopher Isherwood, published in 1976 by Sylvester & Orphanos, in which he expounded events in his life from 1929 to 1939, including his years in Berlin which were the inspiration for his popular novel Goodbye to Berlin. Isherwood decided late in his life that he had a moral obligation to renounce the self-censorship that marked his early novels, specifically the excision of any hint of his homosexuality. [1]
