Summary:

In 1939 Christopher Isherwood and W.H. Auden emigrated together to the United States. Isherwood settled in California, where he studied under a Hindu monk, worked as a screenwriter, wrote novels, and maintained friendships with renowned celebrities, artists, and intellectuals. In spare, luminous prose Isherwood revealed his homosexual relationships in his diary. His devotion to his diary was a way of accounting for, and defining, himself.
