Katherine Bucknell - Scholar and Writer
'His diaries are the basis of all his creative work, and LOST YEARS is the most revealing so far' - HARPERS AND QUEEN
'Isherwood remains a curious and memorable writer. .. a master of translucent prose, the events and people of these years seem to be described by a narrator as perceptive as he is unobtrusive...His writing soon becomes addictive as one self-disclosure follows another. What better recommendation for a diary could there be?'
THE TIMES
'Isherwood's account is endearingly honest...a journal not only unusually objective but in parts shockingly frank.'
