What is Goodbye to Berlin about?

The novel, a semi-autobiographical account of Isherwood's time in 1930s Berlin, describes pre-Nazi Germany and the people he met. It is episodic, dealing with a large cast over a period of several years from late 1930 to early 1933. It is written as a connected series of six short stories and novellas. These are: «A Berlin Diary (Autumn 1930)», «Sally Bowles», «On Ruegen Island (Summer 1931)», «The Nowaks», «The Landauers», and «A Berlin Diary (Winter 1932-3)». Moving to Germany to work on his novel, Isherwood soon becomes involved with a diverse array of German citizens: the caring landlady, Frl. Schroeder; the «divinely decadent» Sally Bowles, a young Englishwoman who sings in the local cabaret and her coterie of admirers; Natalia Landauer, the rich, Jewish heiress of a prosperous family business; Peter and Otto, a gay couple struggling to accept their relationship and sexuality in light of the rise of the Nazis.
