George Falconer, a middle-aged English professor, struggles to cope with the sudden death of his partner, Jim, in a car accident. Set in 1962, the novel explores George's life in Los Angeles, where his routine becomes a painful reminder of the loss of the intimate connection that allowed him to be himself against social conventions. Considered Christopher Isherwood's masterpiece, this novel is a profound and original reflection on the passage of time, loneliness, the confrontation with one's own mortality, and the drama of existence in the contemporary world.
