Description

Lions and Shadows: An Education in the Twenties by Christopher Isherwood A witty and outrageous memoir that blends autobiography and fiction to describe the inner life of a writer evolving from public school boy to Cambridge drop-out in London's Bohemia. This work contains thinly veiled portraits of his contemporaries, whose intimate friendships and cult of rebellion shaped the literary identity of England in the 1930s. Isherwood pokes fun at the stars of his generation, above all himself, even as he testifies to their unique early gifts. With a new introduction by James Fenton, this edition offers a fresh perspective on the life and work of one of England's most celebrated writers. Published in 2013, this paperback edition features 312 pages and is bound for easy reading.
