Forster, as well as colorful figures he met in Germany and later fictionalized in his two Berlin novels?and who appeared again, fictionalized to an even greater degree, in I Am a Camera and Cabaret. It includes accounts of his experiences in Greece (c. 1933) on an island off Euboea with Frances King and his friends.(pp 133-146) which was fictionalized in "Down There on a Visit" 339p.Crisp, tight unmarked copy, but ffep is missing, else fine
