Inner Circle
Posted by Robin Brenner on Tue, Aug 3, 2010 at 1:16 pm
“In 1940, innocent young John Milk accepts a job as an assistant to Dr. Alfred Kinsey, an Indiana University zoologist studying human sexuality, and takes part, along with his wife, in sexual experiments that become ever more uninhibited.”
Robin’s Note: T. Coraghessan Boyle is an author highly recommend as a read-alike for John Irving given his evocative characters, settings, and his treatment of ideas both extraordinary and mundane. This novel explores many of Irving’s favorite issues: fidelity, sex, and love.
