As a management trainee at Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press, John Lehman arranged for the publication of Isherwood's second novel, "The Memorial," in 1932. The two men quickly developed a friendship that lasted until Isherwood's death in 1986.
This elegant, succinct biography traces Isherwood's life and development as a novelist, beginning with his visits to Germany during the '30s and his efforts to transform his experiences into the so-called "Berlin Stories" (which Lehman also helped to publish).
