A Single Man: A Novel

When Christopher Isherwood's A Single Man first appeared, it shocked many with its frank, sympathetic and moving portrayal of a gay man in maturity. Isherwood's favorite of his own novels, it now stands as a classic lyric meditation on life as an outsider.

Welcome to sunny suburban 1960s Southern California. George is a gay middle-aged English professor, adjusting to solitude after the tragic death of his young partner. He is determined to persist in the routines of his former life. A Single Man follows him over the course of an ordinary 24 hours. Behind his British reserve, tides of grief, rage and loneliness surge ― but what is revealed is a man who loves being alive despite all the everyday injustices.
