Synopsis
In the view of Gore Vidal, Christopher Isherwood was the best prose writer in English, producing work of an unequalled versatility and range between the publication of his first novel in 1928 and his last in 1980. "Where Joy Resides" covers the full span of Isherwood's writing, charting its progress and development. It demonstrates the author's powers of clarity and observation, the clarity and fluidity that are the hallmarks of his style. The book contains excerpts from the finest of Isherwood's writing: "Goodbye to Berlin", "A Single Man", "Lions and Shadows", "Exhumations", "Kathleen and Frank", "My Guru and his Disciple" and "Prater Violet".
