Be sure to read Christopher Brams excellent foreword."Lavender Magazine "The book does not try to dissimulate Isherwoods hesitations and occasional mistakes, related to issues of class (for instance in his perhaps somewhat exploitative relationships with working class, that is unemployed and hungry hustlers in his Berlin years) or race (for instance in his contacts with Mishima). This is a very courageous and mature approach, and I think a very healthy stance in the current context of revenge culture."Leonardo Reviews "Anyone with an interest in Isherwood or in Japanese culture and sexual patterns will find this book a worthwhile acquisition."Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide
