Items related to Liberation: Diaries, 1970-1983
Virginia Woolf described the young Christopher Isherwood as 'a slip of a wild boy: with quick silver eyes'. In this final volume of his warm, sharply observed and richly funny diaries, the author of Goodbye to Berlin finds domestic contentment in Los Angeles with his partner, the artist Don Bachardy, and spiritual peace through Eastern religion, and turns his quicksilver gaze on the literati, the Hollywood glitterati, and the stars of the art world, from David Bowie to Andy Warhol.

Review:
"Compulsively readable...a testament to his connections to the literati and Hollywood glitterati...a fitting finale to a fascinating life"--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Christopher Isherwood continues to perform open-heart surgery on himself, without anaesthestic, and with one beady eye on the audience...a rare treat."--The Guardian
"Isherwood proves a captivating, honest diarist, his entries rich with reflection and gossip."--Booklist
"Unique literary archives...Ultimately LIBERATION is a real-time gallery of men in love at a time when the world was nowhere near catching up with them."--Huffington Post
"But the gold mine of Isherwood work has been the posthumous publication of three huge diaries amounting to almost 3,000 pages. Comprehensively and lovingly edited and annotated by Katherine Bucknell, these volumes give us the most detailed portrait of the writer..."--San Francisco Chronicle
