The Memorial: Portrait of a Family -- Christopher Isherwood

Condition: Good.

Triad Panther, 1978, Vintage Paperback - Fiction - 189pp.

With subtle wit and trademark irony, Isherwood's second novel evokes a society in flux.

World War I. Eric Vernon is on the cusp of adulthood. Tall, bony and awkward he finds himself torn between a desire to emulate his heroic father, who led a life of quiet sacrifice, and resentment toward his father's roguish friend Edward Blake, who survived the war only to throw himself into gay life in Berlin.

With The Memorial, Christopher Isherwood began his lifelong work of rewriting his own experiences into witty yet almost forensic portraits of modern society.
