A propos de cet article

Free USPS 3-5 Day Priority Mail & Insurance in the USA 48. This first-edition book with signed card is subtitled "A journey along the byways of five South American republics." Written by Christopher Isherwood and photographed by his then-lover William Caskey, this volume includes a rare, signed "Personal Mailing Card" (see photo) from Christopher to his gay friend Hamilton Wright. Hamilton Wright, who Christopher addresses as Ham , was a gay friend (as evidence by his refence to a mutual friend, Ed) of Christopher Isherwood s from New York City where Ham s public relations agency was based. Ham was Hamilton Jr. as his father had started the business in the 1920 s. The business clients were foreign government agencies which focused on in-bound tourism. Hamilton Wright s firm supplied photography and content for travel brochures and other promotional materials. From Wikipedia: Christopher William Bradshaw Isherwood (26 August 1904 4 January 1986) was an Anglo-American novelist, playwright, screenwriter, autobiographer, and diarist. His best-known works include Goodbye to Berlin (1939), a semi-autobiographical novel which inspired the musical Cabaret (1966); A Single Man (1964), adapted into a film directed by Tom Ford in 2009; and Christopher and His Kind (1976), a memoir which "carried him into the heart of the Gay Liberation movement." He began living with the photographer William "Bill" Caskey. In 1947, the two traveled to South America. Isherwood wrote the prose and Caskey took the photographs for a 1949 book about their journey entitled The Condor and the Cows. In a 1949 letter to Gore Vidal, Isherwood discussed gay relationships like his own: "Homosexual relationships can be and frequently are happy. Many men live together for years and share their lives and their work, just as heterosexuals do. This truth is particularly disturbing and shocking even to liberal people, because it cuts across the romantic, tragic notion of homosexual fate". …
