I thoroughly enjoyed this short read from cover to cover, Isherwood is wonderfully sensitive and emotional while remaining challenging to the reader - daring us to loosen our chains and live NOW. Love hard and fast and intensely. His comment on prudishness towards the end of the book was particularly striking and made me really reconsider my own thoughts on desire and the body.
