I love Isherwood’s frankness. It’s a refreshing read even though it is quite melancholy most of the time. You feel as if you’re walking alongside George. Afterwards I felt that maybe I should try walking alongside myself as well.

The stock spiel for A Single Man goes something like: published in 1964, Isherwood offered a frank depiction of a homosexual, allowing heteros everywhere to finally access sympathy/empathy for a gay man.
