Banned Book Spotlight: Isherwood's A Single Man

Original: Banned book of the day: A Single Man (1964) — Christopher Isherwood https://www. banned-books.org/book-of-the-d ay/2026-

Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel A Single Man is being highlighted as a banned book of the day by a censorship-tracking project. The novel, which follows a gay English professor grieving his partner in 1960s Southern California, has long faced challenges for its portrayal of homosexuality. The feature forms part of ongoing efforts to mark books that have been restricted or removed, amid continuing debates over book bans and intellectual freedom.

Why now: Renewed concern over book bans and censorship has put banned titles back in public focus.
