by Christopher Isherwood · first published 1964

A Single Man is a 1964 novel by Christopher Isherwood. Set in Southern California in 1962, shortly after the Cuban Missile Crisis, it depicts one day in the life of George, a middle-aged Englishman who is a professor at a university in Los Angeles. The university is a possible allusion to California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA), where Isherwood taught for some time. The novel is also believed to be influenced by a crisis in his relationship with Don Bachardy.
