Aldous Huxley, who had become devoted to Vedanta and meditation upon migrating to America in 1937, introduced Isherwood to the spiritual philosophy, bringing him to the Vedanta Society of Southern California. Isherwood became so immersed in the foundational texts that he produced no significant writing between 1939 and 1945, and for the rest of his life, he collaborated on translations of the scriptures. Isherwood became an American citizen in 1946. He first considered becoming a citizen in 1945, but was hesitant about taking an oath stating he would defend the country. The following year, he replied honestly and said he would accept non-combatant duties. Upon settling in the United States, Isherwood befriended US-based writers. One of his new acquaintances was Truman Capote, who was influenced by Berlin Stories to the point that his character Holly Golightly is reminiscent of Isherwood's Sally Bowles. Around this time, Isherwood began living with photographer Bill Caskey, and together they traveled to South America. He narrated his experiences in the book The Condor and the Crows (1949), for which Caskey supplied photographies. Then, on Valentine?s Day 1953, he met the then-teenage Don Bachardy. Isherwood was 48 at the time. Their pairing raised some eyebrows, and Bachardy was regarded in some circles as ?a sort of child prostitute,? but they succeeded in becoming a well regarded couple in Southern California and their partnership lasted until the author's death. Bachardy eventually became a successful visual artist in his own right. In the early phases of the relationship, Bachardy typed out The World in the Evening, which was published in 1954. Isherwood's 1964 novel, A Single Man, depicted a day in the life of George, a gay university professor who taught at a Los Angeles University, and was made into a movie by Tom Ford in 2009.
