Berlin, the Greek Islands, London and California. 1928, 1932, 1938 and 1940. Four portraits, four settings, four narrators, all known as ‘Christopher Isherwood’. Down There on a Visit tells the vivid stories of Isherwood’s life that, together with The Berlin Novels (Mr Norris Changes Trains and Goodbye to Berlin), were to have comprised his great unfinished epic novel.

Delivering the reflective, candid narration that touches on identity, desire, alienation and the urge to belong, Simon Callow brings an exquisite sparkle to each character sketch.
