Cover art coup!

While in L.A., I took the chance to meet up with Don Bachardy again. Don was Christopher Isherwood's life partner, and is a famous portrait artist. My interview with him was published in White Crane in 2006. Don has kindly provided a portrait of Isherwood for cover art for my forthcoming book on Isherwood, tentatively titled 'Mr Isherwood Changes Trains' (a reference to his famous Berlin novel, 'Mr Norris Changes Trains').
Apart from the Melbourne publisher (Clouds of Magellan) I met with the editorial chief of White Crane while In New York and he is looking at the manuscript now (it's still in rough draft form, after being re-worked so it reads less like a PhD thesis...)
