Details

Set in 1962, this landmark novel (now considered one of the first modern LGBTQ+ classics) follows a day in the life of a 58-year-old British expat and college professor living in California. George is silently trying to come to terms with the death of his partner, Jim, after a car accident.

With devastating clarity and humour, 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.

As usual, after the discussion we'll go to Wilde Bar for dinner, drinks, and conversation. We hope to see you then!
