Where Joy Resides: A Christopher Isherwood Reader

Best known for The Berlin Stories — the inspiration for the Tony and Academy Award-winning musical Cabaret — Christopher Isherwood (1904 — 1986) was a major figure in twentieth-century fiction and the gay rights movement. Where Joy Resides is the perfect introduction to the author's essential writings.

This collection presents two complete novels, Prater Violet and A Single Man; episodes from three other novels, Goodbye to Berlin, Down There on a Visit, and Lions and Shadows; along with excerpts from Isherwood's nonfiction works, Exhumations, Kathleen and Frank, and My Guru and His Disciple.
