Mr. Norris Changes Trains by Christopher Isherwood (1933/280 pages).  After a chance encounter on a train the English teacher William Bradshaw starts a close  friendship with the mildly sinister Arthur Norris. Norris is a man of contradictions; lavish but heavily in debt, excessively polite but sexually deviant. First published in 1933, Mr. Norris Changes Trains piquantly evokes the atmosphere of Berlin during the rise of the Nazis. Isherwood later condemned his book as a “heartless fairy-story” in which the “only genuine monster was the young foreigner who passed gaily through these scenes of desolation, misinterpreting them to suit his childish fantasy” Presented by Julian Gibbs.
