In One Person

von John Irving

His most political novel since The Cider House Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany, John Irving's In One Person is an intimate and unforgettable portrait of the solitariness of a bisexual man who is dedicated to making himself "worthwhile."

A compelling novel of desire, secrecy, and sexual identity, In One Person is a story of unfulfilled love-tormented, funny, and affecting-and an impassioned embrace of our sexual differences. Not least, it is an intimate portrait of the solitariness of a bisexual man who is dedicated to making himself "worthwhile." Beginning with his first love-an older, transgender woman-and including the classmates and lovers he will lose to AIDS, William Abbott makes an unforgettable statement about sexual repression in America.
