A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood
5.0
An honest, inventive, funny, and in many ways troubling book. Our narrator, a late-middle-aged gay man, has just suffered the death of his partner.
We follow a day in his life as an English professor in Southern California as he tries to make sense of his new life and cobble together a meaningful existence.
As poignant as it is brilliantly observed. A standout from Isherwood in the history of gay fiction. Hard to believe it was written only 8 years after Baldwin's Giovanni's Room.
