All The Conspirators

All the Conspirators (1979) by Christopher Isherwood – New Directions Edition
Sold by Crappy Old Books

A seething portrait of post-WWI malaise and generational collision, All the Conspirators marks Christopher Isherwood’s quietly explosive literary debut. First published in 1928 and reissued here in this 1979 New Directions paperback (complete with the kind of cover design that screams “I used to live in a commune”), the novel follows the emotionally stifled Philip Lindsay as he struggles to escape the suffocating grip of his bourgeois mother—and England itself. Expect toxic domesticity, existential dread, and characters who express themselves through repressed sighs and long walks in the rain.

Crappy Old Books’ copy is gently scuffed, moderately yellowed, and proudly smells like your favorite used bookstore. A must for fans of early 20th-century queer literature, literary self-loathing, or just collecting every Isherwood paperback before your friends do.

Condition: Crappy but readable. Just how you like it.
