Quatrième de couverture :
Revue de presse :
George, the middle-fiftyish English don at the Californian university, has lost his boyfriend, killed in a motor crash. He carries on with his life, making faces at the children in the nearby houses, lecturing on Aldous Huxley, gossiping [and] drinking too much...All the time he is tormented by his urges: the sight of a blond young man playing tennis, a chance meeting with one of his students, for whom George has been nursing a passion, which leads to drunken nude bathing.
'Mr Isherwood has not written anything as good as this for a long time. It is all very sad and yet at times wildly funny...The description of the Californian scene is bitter, nostalgic, yet at the same time tinged with love' David Holloway, Daily Telegraph
'A testament to Isherwood's undiminished brilliance as a novelist' Anthony Burgess, The Listener
"His key postwar work. A quarter-century ahead of its time in its portrayal of a quotidian homosexual life, it inspired a generation of gay writers in Britain and the US" (Independent)
"This mix of humour and stoicism in the face of pent-up grief is essential Isherwood" (Guardian)
"His own highly personal form of fiction [is one] in which simple sentences strike a note of great intimacy with the reader as if to a close personal friend, and a sense of total honesty is sought. This style, witty, observant, nostalgic, exact, was Isherwood's great contribution to modern literature" (Financial Times)
"He had dazzling talents as a writer. His literary production was pre-eminent for its wit, humour, charm of style and narrative skill... A Single Man can be almost considered as his masterpiece" (Guardian John Lehmann)

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. When Christopher Isherwood's A Single Man first appeared, it shocked many with its frank, sympathetic, and moving portrayal of a gay man in maturity. Isherwood's favorite of his own novels, it now stands as a classic lyric meditation on life as an outsider. Welcome to sunny suburban 1960s Southern California. George is a gay middle-aged English professor, adjusting to solitude after the tragic death of his young partner. He is determined to persist in the routines of his former life. A Single Man follows him over the course of an ordinary twenty-four hours. Behind his British reserve, tides of grief, rage, and loneliness surge--but what is revealed is a man who loves being alive despite all the everyday injustices. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780374533878
