Christopher and His Kind by Christopher Isherwood

4.0

---

This is my first experience with Isherwood, and I am very impressed. His very English voice made reading enjoyable and satisfying. For an autobiography, this book was objective, taking actual letters/diaries from Christopher and his friends throughout the story. Isherwood opens up the unknown world of gay Berlin during the rise of Nazi Germany. Isherwood is surprisingly open in his book, but the openness and acceptance from others during the 1930s was even more surprising.
