Fiction

After a chance encounter on a train the English teacher William Bradshaw starts a close friendship with the mildly sinister Arthur Norris. Norris is a man of contradictions; lavish but heavily in debt, excessively polite but sexually deviant. First published in 1933, "Mr Norris Changes Trains" piquantly evokes the atmosphere of Berlin during the rise of the Nazis.
