A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood
5.0

Saw the movie first and loved it. Finally got to read the novel, which was beautiful as I expected it would be with writing that was both fluid and truthful. Some quotes that struck me...

In continuing to live, through grief, and forcing himself to go to work ..."With the skill of a veteran he rapidly puts on the psychological make-up for this role he must play."

Describing sleep, "Partial surfacings, after this. Partial emergings, just barely breaking the sheeted calm of the water. Most of George remaining submerged in sleep."
