wretchedtheo 's review for:

Goodbye To Berlin by Isherwood, Christopher (1989) Paperback by Christopher Isherwood, Christopher Isherwood
4.75
dark funny reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Isherwood writes with that dry and perceptive wit that British authors so excel at, and his keen eye for human foibles and neuroses is propped up by descriptive language of a truly cinematic vividness. A fatalist fondness permeates these vignettes, bringing to life a colorful cast of philosophical Jews, scandalous club singers and threadbare gigolos.
