Exhumations is a collection of Isherwood's stories, book reviews, articles, and verses written over a period of almost forty years; 'fragments', as the author himself called them, 'of an autobiography which tells itself indirectly, by means of exhibits'. From those delightful lines which begin: The common cormorant (or shag)/ Lays eggs inside a paper bag ... to the reflections of this Quaker writer on the Bhagavad-Gita's seeming approval of war; from a hilarious preparatory-school story to solid comment on Baudelaire, Wells, Santayana, Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf, and many other people, these exhibits provide intriguing evidence about a witty and many-sided personality.
