Christopher Isherwood (1904-1986) was a gay British writer, best known for his book Farewell to Berlin, later filmed as Cabaret. On November 30, 1934, Isherwood paid a visit to Malmö. In his autobiography "Christopher and his Kind" he mentioned how well he was received. He came to Malmö to give a lecture titled, "My Experiences in an English Film Studio". Before the lecture, Isherwood was taken to the Grand Hotel, where apparently he was given quite a lot to drink. He was fairly inebriated by the time of his lecture, but he quickly noticed that the audience was also drunk. The lecture was a success! Photo 1: from a postcard in a private collection.
