LGBTQIA+ Book Club: “A Single Man”

The LGBTQIA+ Book Club meets once a month throughout the academic semester. It provides a thoughtful and engaging environment where participants can delve into nuanced discussions, reflect on complex themes, and connect with fellow students, staff, and faculty. Our selections span various genres and topics, ensuring that each meeting presents an opportunity to broaden our understanding of LGBTQ+ experiences and narratives.

Celebrated as a masterpiece from its first publication, A Single Man is the story of George Falconer, an English professor in suburban California left heartbroken after the death of his lover Jim. With devastating clarity and humor, author Christopher Isherwood shows George’s determination to carry on, evoking the unexpected pleasures of life as well as the soul’s ability to triumph over loneliness and alienation.
