About This Book
Christopher Isherwood originally intended *Down There on a Visit* to be part of *The Lost*, the unfinished epic novel that would also incorporate his famous *Berlin Stories*. Tracing many of the same themes as that earlier work, this novel is a bemused, sometimes acid portrait of people caught in private sexual hells of their own making. Its four episodes are connected by four narrators. All are called "Christopher Isherwood, " but each is a different character inhabiting a new setting: Berlin in 1928, the Greek Isles in 1933, London in 1938, and California in 1940. *Down There on a Visit* is a major work that shows Isherwood at the height of his literary powers.
