{"product_id":"9781836390091","title":"Christopher Isherwood","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fresh and approachable critical biography of the twentieth-century Anglo-American writer.   Christopher Isherwood wrote modernist novels before he evolved into a pioneer of autofiction; his novel Goodbye to Berlin inspired the hit musical Cabaret. Everything changed when Isherwood emigrated to America in 1939. His newfound pacifism and studies as a Hindu monk led to new kinds of novels, including A Single Man, that reflected his evolving spiritual interests and blazed a trail for the gay liberation movement. In this new biography, Jake Poller takes a holistic approach to Isherwood, exploring his life and writing as well as the impact of Vedanta philosophy on Isherwood's work. This book offers a concise yet thorough account of a monumental figure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Jake \/ Poller","offer_id":55361381466485,"sku":"9781836390091","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9781836390091_c3b9f2db-fcb9-493d-82dd-46bd2f15dd5a.jpg?v=1746883843","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.live\/products\/9781836390091","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
