Description:

From the author of

A Prayer for Owen Meany

and

The World According to Garp

comes "his most daringly political, sexually transgressive, and moving novel in well over a decade" (

Vanity Fair

).

A

New York Times

bestselling 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. Billy, the bisexual narrator and main character of

In One Person

, tells the tragicomic story (lasting more than half a century) of his life as a "sexual suspect," a phrase first used by John Irving in 1978 in his landmark novel of "terminal cases,"

The World According to Garp

.

In One Person

is a poignant tribute to Billy’s friends and lovers—a theatrical cast of characters who defy category and convention. Not least,

In One Person

is an intimate and unforgettable portrait of the solitariness of a bisexual man who is dedicated to making himself "worthwhile."
