His literary talents were prodigious, though he scandalized the elites early in his career by writing a novel openly celebrating homosexuality. After publishing a Hemingway-style war novel when he was barely twenty, he attracted unusual attention in 1948 with his third novel, The City and the Pillar. Christopher Isherwood was one of them. An iconoclast ahead of his time, he candidly wrote about homosexuality in an early novel, The City and the Pillar, which got him blacklisted by book critics at the New York Times. That 1948 novel, The City and the Pillar, was dedicated to Jimmie Trimble. Since 2009 the city of Freiburg in South Germany has a tolerance zone.
