The Inner Circle 英文原版

　　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.

　　T. C. Boyle’s novels include World’s End, winner of the
PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, The Tortilla Curtain, Riven Rock, A
Friend of the Earth and most recently Drop City which was a
finalist for the National Book Award. His stories appear regularly
in major magazines, including the New Yorker, Esquire, Playboy,
Granta and the Paris Review. He lives in California.
