《一個男人的孤獨，是巨大群體的微小縮影》A Single Man
一個單身男子人生的最後一天，將如何度過？
知名作家Christopher Isherwood的經典作品，描述主角喬治突然因為一場車禍而喪失與自己相伴16年的同性伴侶吉姆，這使他頓失生活重心，也感到沒有活下去的意義。於是，他決定在這天結束後，就以死亡作為終局。Christopher Isherwood始終在同志運動和相關議題中十分活絡，而作品裡平緩柔和的敘述語調，卻無法掩蓋同志連情的隱匿和哀傷，因為這些孤獨，從來都不只是單一個案。

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.
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.
