Christopher Isherwood’s
The Last of Mr. Norris
by Rachel King
The Last of Mr. Norris by Christopher Isherwood is a short novel, Berlin, early 1930s, from the perspective of a young American outsider. Memoir veiled as fiction. A convincing portrait of a complex character (Mr. Norris) conveyed in minute and exquisite ways. If someone accuses your short story or novel of being too much of character sketch, you can cite this as precedence (but only if you’ve read it and understand how Isherwood pulls it off).
