Description

Christopher Isherwood settled in California in 1939 and spent the war years writing for Hollywood, but by 1945 he had all but ceased to write fiction and even abandoned his habit of keeping a diary. Instead he embarked on a life of frantic socialising and drinking. Looking back from the 1970s, Isherwood recreated these years from personal memories to form a remarkably honest mixture of private and social history.

Isherwood's account is endearingly honest… a journal not only unusually objective but in parts shockingly frank. You are left feeling you have truly got to know Christopher Isherwood… A welcome supplement to Isherwood's Diaries and provides futher insight into a major literary figure

Other text

In Lost Years Isherwood lays bare his mid-life crisis with critical self-candour, never losing his engaging manner nor his sense of humour… His diaries are the basis for all his creative work, and Lost Years is the most revealing so far
