Christopher Isherwood

British novelist. The only prose writer who belonged to the "Auden Group" of the 1930s. His representative works include the trilogy known as "Berlin Stories," set in Berlin before the rise of the Hitler regime: "Mr. Norris Changes Trains" (1935), "Sally Bowles" (1937), and "Farewell, Berlin" (1939, translated into Japanese as "The Helpless People"). He also wrote several experimental verse dramas in collaboration with Auden and a war memoir of his service in the Sino-Japanese War. After the outbreak of World War II, he moved to the United States with Auden, and wrote novels such as "A Single Man" (1964), as well as screenplays for Hollywood films.
