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.
