Intimate and compulsively readable. Alfred Corn, The NationThe second volume of acclaimed author Christopher Isherwood s diaries takes readers to the heart of the 1960s, the decade in which Isherwood s semiautobiographical novel Goodbye to Berlin would be adapted into the Tony Award-winning musical Cabaret. Against a background of cultural paradigm shifts including the advent of space travel, pop art, and mod fashion, and seminal events like the Kennedy/Nixon election, the Marianne Faithfull/Mick Jagger romance, the rise of the Hippie movement, and the riotous explosion of America s inner cities, The Sixties follows Isherwood s friendships with creative powerhouses such as Francis Bacon, David Hockney, Richard Burton, and Gore Vidal, and continues the saga of his great romance with portraitist Don Bachardy.
