When A Single Man was originally published, it shocked many with 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 24 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A testimony to Isherwood's undiminished brilliance as a novelist." (Anthony Burgess)

Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time


Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.

I didn’t particularly liked the storyline as it maid me feel sad and depressed for most of the book the only part that I enjoyed was much closer towards the end. Honestly, I liked the ending and there are a lot of very interesting thoughts in here, all I’m saying is that this is not a lighthearted read.

The whole book is like a strain of thought

This is a truly great book with an absolutely splendid narration. Isherwood is a remarkable author and it’s a pity that there are so few of his titles available on audio. Simon Prepple’s narration is flawless. A truly great listening experience!

Absolutely splendid!!

The narrative structure, intertwined with direct,complex,yet almost sparse prose,tells a compelling slice-of-life tale.And there has never been a more beautiful description of a heart attack anywhere in literature.

Strong character and clever expository prose

Unusual for it's time and still today--this pathetic yet often humorous description of a bereft, aging, highly self-aware homosexual.

Well-done

Would you listen to A Single Man again? Why?

when the story was over i immediately started the story over!

Who was your favorite character and why?

george is the main character and is the meat of the story. i am straight and in my thirties, but i can still relate to his life.

What does Simon Prebble bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

his narration was beyond fantastic. his accent and tone made george so much realer. i usually don't like voices like this, but i feel the simon really captured georges character

Who was the most memorable character of A Single Man and why?

George most definitely.

Any additional comments?

i watched the trailer for the movie and was extremely disappointed. the main plot for the movie was merely a paragraph in the book. isn't that how it always goes though?

absolutely amazing
