Description
In romantic letters to one another the couple created the private world of the Animals. Chris was Dobbin a stubborn old workhorse; Don was the playful young white cat Kitty. But Don needed to carve out his own identity some of their longest sequences of letters were exchanged during his trips to London and New York to pursue his career as an artist and to widen his emotional and sexual horizons.
Amidst the intimate domestic dramas we learn of Isherwood's continuing literary success the royalty cheques from Cabaret the acclaim for his pioneering novel A Single Man and the bohemian whirl of Californian film suppers and beach life. Don whose portraits of London theatreland were making his name attends the world premiere of The Innocents with Truman Capote and afterwards dines with Deborah Kerr and the rest of the cast spends weekends with Tennessee Williams Cecil Beton or the Earl and Countess of Harewood and tours Egypt and Greece with a new love interest. But whatever happens in the outside world Dobbin and Kitty always return to their Basket and to each other. Candid gossipy exceptionally affectionate The Animals is a unique interplay between two creative spirits confident in their mutual devotion.
