In this final volume of Christopher Isherwood's diaries, the
celebrated writer greets advancing age with poignant humor and an
unquenchable appetite for the new. Isherwood deepens his study of
Hinduism, writes his final books, and immerses himself in the
vibrant creative scenes of the 1970s. With his long-term companion,
Don Bachardy, Isherwood delves into the art worlds of Los Angeles,
New York, and London, where he meets Rauschenberg, Ruscha, Warhol,
and Hockney. Collaborating with Bachardy on scripts for Broadway
and Hollywood, he encounters John Huston, Merchant and Ivory, John
Travolta, David Bowie, Jon Voight, Armistead Maupin, Elton John,
and Joan Didion. This volume is a densely populated human comedy,
sketched with both ruthlessness and benevolence against the
background of the Vietnam War, the energy crisis, and the Nixon,
Carter, and Reagan White Houses. The final installment of
Isherwood's masterwork reveals a man candidly fearful of his
approaching death, and yet engaged in the vitality and energy of
daily life.
