Additional Details

Christopher Isherwood was a novelist and playwright and major figure in the gay rights movement. His semi-autobiographical novel "Goodbye to Berlin" (1939) became the premise for the iconic musical "Cabaret," and his 1976 memoir "Christopher and His Kind" told the story of his life in gay Berlin in the 1930s. The latter remains a classic in gay liberation literature.
