Yount, Kurt. A blind man Isherwood met at Fullerton State in 1976, and with whom he became friendly, partly because Yount is an obsessive reader and partly because Isherwood felt curious and sympathetic about his predicament. Isherwood invited him to dinner once to introduce him to Don Bachardy.
Yow, Jensen ( Jen, Jens). Artist and curator. He was a friend of Lincoln Kirstein and had a room in Kirstein’s house. He appears in D.1.
