Early praise for David Garrett Izzo’s novel A Change of Heart

Whether you are an adept of Aldous Huxley, W. H. Auden, Christopher Isherwood, or any of the artistic figures of the 1930s, you will be enlightened and entertained by David Garrett Izzo's remarkable A Change of Heart. His recreations are so astonishingly alive and accurate that you feel you are there at the creation, a sudden intimate of a brilliant and select group of artists and writers. Auden and Spender and others parry and debate, live and breathe again; the past recaptured!

 

Izzo knows the period so deeply and has such powers of synthesis that even someone like myself who has been reading Auden for forty years will find fresh facts and will see material already known anew. Stunning, dense, just, and, in the largest and best sense, true."
