First published in 1934, Goodbye to Berlin has been popularized on stage and screen by Julie Harris in I Am a Camera and Liza Minelli in Cabaret. Isherwood magnificently captures 1931 Berlin: charming with its avenues and cafés; marvelously grotesque with its nightlife and dreamers; dangerous with its vice and intrigue; powerful and seedy with its mobs and millionaires. The shadow of Hitler looms menacingly, towering higher and higher. Goodbye to Berlin is inhabited by a wealth of characters: the unforgettable and “divinely decadent” Sally Bowles; plump Fraülein Schroeder, who considers reducing her Büste to relieve heart palpitations; Peter and Otto, a gay couple struggling with their relationship; and the distinguished and doomed Jewish family the Landauers.
Christopher Isherwood (1904-1986), perhaps the first major openly gay writer to be read extensively by a wider audience, was one of the most distinguished authors of the twentieth century. His literary friendships encompassed such writers as W. H. Auden, E. M. Forster, Stephen Spender, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, and Somerset Maugham.
Isherwood depicts how flawed people make their lives in a precarious time with the restrained humor and sympathy of an (queer) English gentleman. At times he seems to have torn down the façade and pierced into a person’s soul, yet at other times his words drift as weak complaints in an impregnable whirlwind.
评分愉快的阅读,产生了自己的英语还有救的幻觉。故事好读,有几篇真是感人至深。30年代的德国,时代背景特殊,里面的情绪却不限于某个时代的。最吸引我的是作者的距离和视角,在旁观和参与之间,取得一个舒适而轻易的位置,毫不费力似的,至少文字上看起来是这样。
