Christopher Isherwood

Day eighteen of our daily readings from “Dear Los Angeles,” a collection of letters and diary entries from 1542 to 2018, while all of us quarantine in 2020.

Today’s entry from 1968 is from Christopher Isherwood, an author and screenwriter who left Europe for Santa Monica in 1939, where he would remain until his death in 1986.

We love you, Los Angeles!
