1961*1st* Prater Violet - Christopher Isherwood (Penguin Modern Classics) Good class paperback pages sunned but good.
The novella centers on a young writer (based on Isherwood himself) who is hired to work on the script of a melodramatic film titled Prater Violet, set in Vienna. He collaborates with a passionate and idealistic Austrian director, Friedrich Bergmann, who is increasingly concerned about the rise of fascism in Europe. As the story progresses, the contrast between the superficiality of the film industry and the looming political crisis in Europe becomes more pronounced.
