Christopher Isherwood: a Personal Memoir
“ On Friday at lunch-time, suddenly Christopher was there, with Don (silky silver hair in page-boy cut, a new development) beside him. My friend Morris was immensely excited to meet them, C. at his sweetest with him; in fact all three got on wonderfully well together, in spite of Morris’s obvious shyness and anxiety. Don had brought with him photo-reproductions of some of his drawings as a present to me: I chose one of C. himself (a very good full-length standing one), one of Morgan, and a ...head of Wystan (both looking rather serious, even fierce - as Don’s portraits are apt to be). He also brought some nudes of boys as a special present; but can I put them up on my walls?
C. talked a great deal about his new book on the subject of his father and mother, which whetted my appetite. Still no news of his play being put on in London5, a disappointment he bears bravely. We gave them goulash, jointly prepared. We all went off to the zoo, watched the lemurs, walked through the fantastic aviaries, wondered at the aardvark (the ant-eater), and the pygmy hippopotamus.MoreLess
