		<description><![CDATA[Much is contained in Christopher Isherwood&#8217;s classic memoir, &#8220;Christopher and His Kind&#8221; (1976), which speaks directly to the matters of gay identity and purpose that have been the subject of this series.

		<description><![CDATA[In a century defined by the most savage of brutal wars and genocides, among those things that legendary gay writers Tennessee Williams and Christopher Isherwood held in common were their pacifist political sensibilities and remarkable attention to their creative work, despite innumerable distractions, to express them.
