Everything changed when Isherwood emigrated to America in 1939. His newfound pacifism and studies as a Hindu monk led to new kinds of novels, including \u003ci\u003eA Single Man\u003c\/i\u003e, that reflected his evolving spiritual interests and blazed a trail for the gay liberation movement. In this new biography, Jake Poller takes a holistic approach to Isherwood, exploring his life and writing as well as the impact of Vedanta philosophy on Isherwood's work. This book offers a concise yet thorough account of a monumental figure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836390091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208","brand":"Jake Poller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45169494327477,"sku":"9781836390091","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_618fd02d-88cb-4fee-8fa6-37e2808a6d86.jpg?v=1741703323","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/christopher-isherwood-9781836390091","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
