The Berlin Stories: The Last of Mr. Norris and Goodbye to Berlin (New Directions Book)
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Christopher Isherwood was a diverse writer whose accomplishments included The Mortmere Stories (Edward Upward Series), A Single Man and a translation of The Song of God (Bhagavad Gita). But many critics hailed The Berlin Stories, the reissue of two of his best novels, as his finest. In the book, a man named Christopher Isherwood, who is and is not the author, writes a story of exile, combining the best of Isherwood's real life with the best of the life he imagined.

The New York Times Book Review, Alfred Kazin
He writes his language--it is not always our language--with the tonal exactitude and humorous economy of a man who can be conventional, so distinct is his verbal inheritance. Isherwood's writing has the music of the old English fineness in it. It never presses or stammers ... he is a man who touches his language with affectionate brush strokes in exile.
