Description
Christopher Isherwood in Transit explores the life and work of a writer whose identity was shaped by his travels. Based on a conference at the Huntington Library, this collection of essays examines Isherwood's experiences as a transnational writer, whose politics, beliefs, and sense of self were constantly transformed by journeys to different parts of the world. The contributors bring diverse perspectives to their analysis of Isherwood's writing, considering his rootlessness and restlessness in the context of his global connections. Through essays that approach Isherwood from various angles, this book sheds new light on a writer whose wanderings became spiritual and personal rather than geographic, even after he made a new home in California. Isherwood in Transit is a thought-provoking exploration of a complex and fascinating figure, one whose writing continues to resonate with readers today.
