Read Isherwood's A Single Man. Not sure how autobiographical it's supposed to be, hence not sure if I should congratulate Isherwood on showing himself plainly, warts and all, or to wonder why he chose to write such an unpleasant protagonist. A bit too much of Generation of Vipers there-- the evol wimmenz taking all the lovely young men and turning them into husbands and then fathers and leaving none for poor Christo-- sorry, George to enjoy. Life is so much better at the gym where there are no evol wimmenz and all the men can be friendly and open and not competitive in the least.

And how the hell does one pronounce Geo anyway? Proof that the protagonist is really Christopher shortened to Chris.
