Prater Violet Summary
Originally published in 1945, Prater Violet is a semi-comic novel about the UK film industry. It centers on the production of the vacuous movie melodrama Prater Violet, set in Olde Vienna, providing ironic counterpoint to tragic events as Hitler annexes the real Vienna of the 1930s. The novel features the portraits of imperious, passionate, and witty Austrian director Friedrich Bergmann and a genial young screenwriter — the fictionalized Christopher Isherwood.
