As he did in THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE, T. C. Boyle turns to the odd fringes of American history in THE INNER CIRCLE, this time taking the notorious Alfred Kinsey as his subject. The Kinsey Reports, released in the middle of the 20th century, interviewed hundreds of American men and women about premarital sex, homosexuality, masturbation, and other shocking issues--and their findings revolutionized sexual attitudes. In Boyle's novel, a young man named John Milk is a student at Indiana University when he goes to work for Kinsey and becomes deeply involved not only in the study but in Kinsey's life. As seen through the increasingly less innocent eyes of Milk, Kinsey is portrayed as both a wild-eyed dreamer and a depraved monster. A New York Times Notable Book for 2004.

Synopsis: Fresh on the heels of his acclaimed novel Drop City, which was a New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the National Book Award, T. C. Boyle has found another perfect subject for his hyperactive imagination. The Inner Circle makes use of Alfred Kinsey's controversial studies on human sexuality—and the fascinating details of Kinsey's life and those of the men who worked for him—to create an irresistible tale about the interaction between our human and animal natures. While The Inner Circle gives full play to this erotically charged material (and "should be read naked," according to the Chicago Sun-Times), it is at heart a moving and compassionate look at sex, marriage, and infidelity that will have readers everywhere nodding in recognition. 13 Digit ISBN number: 9780143035862. 10 Digit ISBN: 014303586X.
