"There are only three types of sexual abnormality: abstinence, celibacy, and delayed marriage." - Alfred Kinsey It is 1939. In the campus of Indiana University a revolution has begun. The stir is caused by Alfred Kinsey, a zoologist who is determined to take sex out of the bedroom. John Milk, a freshman, is enthralled by the professor's daring lectures. Over the next two decades, he becomes Kinsey's right hand man and helps him research The Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male and The Sexual Behaviour in the Human Female, the first ever bestsellers about sex. But Kinsey's zeal has dangerous limits and Milk finds himself drawn into his mentor's sexual inner circle - a circle from which he is never, ever, able to break out. Combining epic storytelling with his penchant for the bizarre, T.C. Boyle is back and better than ever.

The Inner Circle is not one of TC Boyle?s best. Based on the work of Dr Kinsey the sex researcher, the novel lacks the snap of his usually crisp writing and none of the skewering satire for which he is known. Despite the titillating subject matter, the plot is stodgy and slow. Yes, there are acute social observations and moral ambiguities, but from Mr. Boyle we have come to expect much more.
If you?re new to his work, read Tortilla Curtain?a masterpiece.
