Book Overview

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the award-winning author of The Tortilla Curtain comes "a fascinating, fictional rendering of what life might have been like doing research for infamous sex professor Alfred Kinsey" (Chicago Tribune).

"A biting satire of emotional manipulation, sexual indiscretion, and scientific hubris."--The Boston Globe

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Tribune

In 1940, John Milk, a virginal young man, accepts a job as an assistant to Dr. Alfred Kinsey, and extraordinarily charming professor of zoology at Indiana University who has just discovered his life's true calling: sex.

As a member of Kinsey's "inner circle" of researchers, Milk and his beautiful new wife are called on to participate in sexual experiments that become increasingly uninhibited--and problematic for his marriage. For in his later years, Kinsey, who behind closed doors is a sexual enthusiast of the first order, ever more recklessly pushed the boundaries both personally and professionally.

At heart a moving and compassionate look at sex, marriage, jealousy, and infidelity, The Inner Circle makes use of Alfred Kinsey's controversial studies on human sexuality to create an irresistible tale about the interaction between our human and animal natures.
