The World in the Evening is far too shadowy for good photography, and the one thing Mr. Isherwood does not try to be in this, his new novel, is a camera.

You know, I almost hate that book. I hate her, and her pathos, and her heart disease…
Our Thoughts
The World in the Evening reads rather like a satire on Isherwood’s earlier novels. Elizabeth and Stephen are caricatures: the insipid martyr and the painfully blithe young man. His weakest novel, but Isherwood nonetheless.
