Blurb
In 1929, Christopher Isherwood leaves England on a one-way ticket to Berlin.
He is determined to become a permanent foreigner, to lose himself - and discover his sexuality - in the boy bars of Berlin. The next ten years will be the most memorable of Isherwood's life. With incredible candour and wit, Isherwood depicts the decadence of the city's night scene and his route to sexual liberation. Yet something dark looms on the horizon. As the Nazis rise to power, Isherwood recounts his dramatic struggle to save his partner Heinz from persecution.
