Like Paris in the '20s, Berlin in the early thirties was one of the most exciting cities in the world. As the Weimar Republic sputtered to a close and war loomed on the horizon, the city was a magnet for talented writers and artists.

The scope of this study, ranging from poetry and cinema to street violence and prostitution, provides a detailed account of two writers engaged in the process of self-definition. It presents portraits of figures with whom Auden and Isherwood came into contact and demonstrates how the raw material of daily existence was transformed into art.
