Synopsis
When A Single Man was originally published, it shocked many by its frank, sympathetic, and moving portrayal of a gay man in midlife. George, the protagonist, is adjusting to life on his own after the sudden death of his partner, and determines to persist in the routines of his daily life; the course of A Single Man spans twenty-four hours in an ordinary day. An Englishman and a professor living in suburban Southern California, he is an outsider in every way, and his internal reflections and interactions with others reveal a man who loves being alive despite everyday injustices and loneliness. Wry, suddenly manic, constantly funny, surprisingly sad, this novel catches the texture of life itself.

  • A Single Man

    This book isn't cookie-cutter. It talks about a homosexual college professor who suffers from depression. It doesn't talk down or heavy hand its reader. Plus, the college professor is shown over the course of the book to have layers. Underrated gem.
