520 _aThe Berlin Stories contains two related novels, "Mr. Norris Changes Trains" and "Goobye to Berlin". Here are Mr. Norris, the bewiggged debauchee, mysteriously intriguing with both Nazis and Communists; plump Fräulein Schroeder, who thinks an operation to reduce her büste might relieve her heart palpitations, the Lanauers, a wealthy and doomed Jewish merchant family; and the unforgettable Sally Bowles, whose misadventures in the demimonde were popularized on stage and screen by Julie Harris in " I am a Camera" and Liza Minnelli in "Cabaret".
