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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJake Poller\u003c\/b\u003e teaches in the English department at Queen Mary University of London.
