«Un homme au singulier» is the literary fiction novel by Christopher Isherwood, published by Fayard in paperback (205 pages, in French).
The novel follows a mature English professor in California; age and nationality separate him from his students, and his acknowledged homosexuality sets him apart from a conformist society. With irony and emotion, Isherwood composes a lucid and bittersweet self-portrait that is also a reflection on solitude, identity, and the search for human connection.
The novel was originally published in English as «A Single Man» in 1964; this French edition, translated by Léo Dilé, belongs to the «Littérature Étrangère» collection.
For those interested in twentieth-century literary fiction, in the work of Christopher Isherwood, and in stories with gay protagonists.
