A two-in-one volume containing the works
The two novels in this volume, THE LAST OF MR. NORRIS and GOODBYE TO BERLIN, were first published in 1935 and 1938, and represent Isherwood's best-known, most widely praised works of fiction. They depict such characters as Mr. Norris, the improbable old debauchee mysteriously caught in the struggle between the ****** and the Communists; plump Fräulein Schroesler, who thinks an operation to reduce the scale of her Büste might relieve her heart palpitations; the Landauers, a distinguished and doomed Jewish family; and Sally Bowles, the inspiration for American stage and screen portrayals by Julie Harris in I AM A CAMERA and Liza Minnelli in CABARET.
