Down There on a visit is the 1962 novel from English author Christopher Isherwood. Through the marginal success of his first novel, All the Conspirators, Christopher Isherwood became something of a literary rockstar. Immersing himself in sexual experimentation, alcohol, and raucous company across Europe and North America, Isherwood's hedonism pauses briefly for a dalliance with eastern mysticism. Carnal indulgence soon continues.

  • Down There on a visit is the 1962 novel from English author Christopher Isherwood. Through the marginal success of his first novel, All the Conspirators, Christopher Isherwood became something of a literary rockstar. Immersing himself in sexual experimentation, alcohol, and raucous company across Europe and North America, Isherwood's hedonism pauses briefly for a dalliance with eastern mysticism. Carnal indulgence soon continues. Down There on a Visit is a title referring to a verbal jibe fired at Isherwood's eponymous protagonist by another character, Paul. "You know, you really are a tourist, to your bones" laughs Paul. "I bet you're always sending post cards with 'Down here on a visit' on them. That's the story of your life. " (315-316)
