Lead
Prater Violet is a 1945 novel by Christopher Isherwood. It is a first-person account of the commercial film industry in  interwar Europe. The novel tells the story of a fictional Christopher Isherwood, recruited to write the script for a sentimental period piece about pre-war Vienna called Prater Violet. Isherwood works with the Austrian director Friedrich Bergmann, and he becomes a sounding board for Bergmann's observations on art, Nazism, and war. The novel is critical of British complacency with the rise of Adolf Hitler and the suppression of social democracy in the Austrian Civil War.

Plot
Prater Violet takes place in London in 1933 and 1934.
