Christopher Isherwood was born in 1904. He began to write at university and later moved to Berlin, where he gave English lessons to support himself. He witnessed first hand the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany and some of his best works, such as Mr. Norris Changes Trains and Goodbye to Berlin, draw on these experiences. He created the character of Sally Bowles, later made famous as the heroine of the musical Cabaret. Isherwood travelled with W.H Auden to China in the late 1930s before going with him to America in 1939. He died on 4 January 1986.
In this brilliantly perceptive novel, a middle aged professor living in California, is alienated from his students by differences in age and nationality, and from the rest of society by his homosexuality. Isherwood explores the depths of the human soul and its ability to triumph over loneliness, alienation and loss.

多次差點放棄,總是提不起來興趣,主角的絮叨總令我昏昏欲睡,【我確實也睡瞭五六頁的樣子】在電影OST的幫助下,終於聽完瞭

評分韆裏孤墳,無處話淒涼。
評分電影比原作要體麵不少哦。原作有一點點bitchy,好帶感啊,有些地方我居然看到哈哈大笑。我記得電影看得我往後三個月都難受。
