From the award-winning author of A Prayer for Owen Meany, "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."

"In One Person gives a lot. It's funny, as you would expect. It's risky in what it exposes... Tolerance, in a John Irving novel, is not about anything goes. It's what happens when we face our own desires honestly, whether we act on them or not." -- Jeanette Winterson, The New York Times Book Review

"It is impossible to imagine the American -- or international -- literary landscape without John Irving... He is as close as one gets to a contemporary Dickens." -- Time

"There's a talent at work in this brave new novel that -- as Prospero said -- 'frees all faults.'" -- The Washington Post
