This title deals with a new introduction by Philip Hensher. "Radiant with observation, never wasting a word, funny and sympathetic". (Stephen Spender). Berlin, the Greek Islands, London and California. 1928, 1932, 1988 and 1940. Four portraits, four settings, four narrators, all known as "Christopher Isherwood"; all connected through their own experiences of private sexual hell. Often regarded as the best of his novels, "Down There on a Visit" tells the vivid stories of Isherwood's life that, together with the "Berlin Stories", were to have comprised his great unfinished epic novel. "May be the best Christopher Isherwood has written. A deeply intelligent and quietly compelling story". ("New York Times").
