"Prater Violet is a stingingly satirical novel about the film industry, centering around the production of the vacuous fictional melodrama Prater Violet. The film, set in nineteenth-entury Vienna, provides ironic counterpoint to tragic events as Hitler annexes the real Vienna od the 1930's. Originally published in 1945, the novel features the vivid portraits of imperious, passionate, and witty Austrian director Friedrich Bergmann, and his disciple, a genial young screenwriter-- the fictionalized Christopher Isherwood "--Container.

Christopher Isherwood is the narrator of 'Goodbye to Berlin'. His story obliquely evokes the gathering storm in Berlin before and just after the rise to power of the Nazis, as seen through the eyes of a series of individuals: his landlady, Fraulein Schroeder; Sally Bowles, the English upper-class waif; the Nowaks, a struggling working-class family; and the Landauers, a wealthy family of Jewish store owners, whose lives are about to be ruined.

"A bemused, sometimes acid portrait of people caught in private sexual hells of their own making. Four episodes are connected by four narrators, all of who are called "Christopher Isherwood." Yet each is a different character inhabiting a new setting; Berlin in 1928, the Greek Isles in 1933, London in 1938, and California in 1940." -- Back cover.
