Quote from this book "Now, at last, I'm ready to write about Mr Lancaster. For years I have been meaning to, but only rather halfheartedly; I never felt I could quite do him justice. Now I see what my mistake was; I always used to think of him as an isolated character. Taken alone, he is less than himself. To present him entirely, I realize I must show how our meeting was the start of a new chapter in my life, indeed a whole series of chapters. And I must go on to describe some of the characters in those chapters. They are all, with one exception, strangers to Mr Lancaster. (If he could have known what was to become of Waldemar, he would never have cast him forth from the office in horror.) If he could ever have met Ambrose, or Geoffrey, or Maria, or Paul - but no, my imagination fails! And yet, through me, all these people are involved with each other, however much they might have hated to think so. And so they are all going to have to share the insult of each other's presence in this book." opening paragraph, "Mr Lancaster", by Christopher Isherwood Secondhand booksellers |
