Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood
#I tried to capture the juxtaposition of the glam nightlife with the bleak truth of living in such a fraught political era#the hedonistic moments people were trying to live in vs the encroaching future of Hitler's reign#and I don't think I succeeded but the story itself sure did#one day this book may no longer feel disturbingly relevant#tw nazi imagery#(that very last picture is of a real life demonstration outside the Hirschfeld institute)#Goodbye to Berlin#Cabaret#Christopher Isherwood#from what I can tell through the book itself and a small amount of research he was kind of a nonce#but I have to admit he wrote well#books 2024#bookedit#litedit#file under my collages aren't good but I'm having fun anyway
