lemonaidan 's review for:
A Single Man
by Christopher Isherwood
“If you and I are no different, what do we have to give each other? How can we ever be friends?”
Would give this six stars if I could. Beyond insane to me that this was written in 1964, probably the best prose I’ve ever come across. A day in the life of a midlife English professor in the throes of grief for his late husband, full to the brim with outstanding wit and humor and insight. The social opinions show their age, but somehow also solidify the feeling that this work was born in some alternate version of the 60’s where homosexuality could be accepted without self loathing.
