fire boek !!
jaren 20/30 berlijn is wel echt een van de meest interessante plekken en tijden oat (queer geschiedenis is altijd interessant) en Isherwood schetst echt zon leuk beeld met zulke absurde karakters, ik hoop echt zo erg dat deze mensen echt zo waren (het is losjes autobiografisch). grootste so naar frl. schroeder en natalia, real ones fr
best wel grauw ig maar tegelijk zo vol humor, echt echt echt een aanrader (MAAR MR NORRIS EERST!!)

"It is strange how people seem to belong to places — especially to places where they were not born..."
Christopher Isherwood brings us fragments of his time in lost Berlin. The odd, bewildered people that he met along the way, the friends who somehow naturally dissolved in and out of each page, the magnitude of the city as it moved within them as their stories unfolded. Sally Bowles was my favourite, Capote's Holly Golightly couldn't even touch her. The book is divided into sections that give a somewhat chronological perspective on a pre-Hitler era and a time of decadence once the Nazis took over.
