"Isherwoods way of starting the book creates a nice intimacy. We dont know names, location, context, anything. But Christopher is looking at someones eyes. The world & story zooms out from there, so were already invested in a character before we know who it is. Isherwoods writing in this has a great level of casualness & wit that's been enough to make me smile; i feel like id laugh if i were told this story personally" — Sep 16, 2022 03:21PM
