[ 5.0 stars ] "24 hours, covering a 58 year-old man's thought processes. He teaches at a University and ruminates on death and life and the small pleasures you can get from simply living, even when tragedy strikes (the death of his lover Jim).It's different from his Berlin novels.There's teacherly reserve - he never enters a classroom with another student, preferring a grand entrance, and he can' ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "This is a beautifully tragic story of loosing someone you love and having to go on with your life without them. Christopher Isherwood is an amazing writer, in this novel he flawlessly mixes funny and sad scenes.
