Exhumations is a collection of Isherwood's stories, book reviews, articles, and verses written over a period of almost forty years; “fragments”, as Isherwood called them, “of an autobiography which tells itself indirectly, by means of exhibits.” From reflections on the Bhagavad-Gita's seeming approval of war, to a hilarious preparatory-school story, to solid comments on Baudelaire, Wells, Santayana, Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf, and many others, these exhibits provide intriguing evidence about a witty and many-sided personality.
