Everything changed when Isherwood emigrated to America in 1939. His newfound pacifism and studies as a Hindu monk led to new kinds of novels, including <em>A Single Man</em>, that reflected his evolving spiritual interests and blazed a trail for the gay liberation movement. In this new biography, Jake Poller takes a holistic approach to Isherwood, exploring his life and writing as well as the impact of Vedanta philosophy on Isherwoods work. This book offers a concise yet thorough account of a monumental figure.</p>...(*_*)9781836390084_<p><strong>A fresh and approachable critical biography of the twentieth-century Anglo-American writer.</strong></p><p>The year 1939 was pivotal for Christopher Isherwood: he emigrated to the United States and his novel <em>Goodbye to Berlin</em>, which inspired the hit musical <em>Cabaret</em>, was feted by critics for its portrait of a city under the shadow of fascism.
