This was my first encounter with Isherwood and it definitely turned out to be a good one. He paints a vibrant picture of Berlin in the 1930s, just prior to the rise of fascism.
His characterisation of each person the main character meets is some of the best I have read in a while. Mr Norris was particularly interesting, in equal parts fabulously eccentric, likable, untrustworthy and suspicious.
Loved it!!
