Mr Norris Changes Trains - Christopher Isherwood

This is another book along the lines of Goodbye to Berlin, reflecting Isherwood's experiences in Germany during the 1930s. The writing is as good as in the later work and some of the characters are very vivid. The thriller plot doesn't quite work as well as the "sketches" in Goodbye to Berlin, but both books are highly impressive and each illuminates the other.
