Synopsis
A dazzlingly written and wickedly sexy read from one of the giants of American contemporary fictions; 'Boyle just gets better and better' (Daily Mail)
In 1939, on 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 and over the next two decades becomes Kinsey's right hand man. But Kinsey teaches Milk more than the art of objective enquiry. Behind closed doors, he is a sexual enthusiast of the highest order and as a member of his 'inner circle' of researchers, Milk is called on to participate in experiments that become increasingly uninhibited ...

Review
Boyle is one of America's most fluent, dazzling and readable writers ... So vivid is his prose that we get caught up in the relationships between the circle, their unconventional marriages, their attempts to combat jealousy for the sake of society's enlightenment (Uncut)
His satire is spot-on ... Boyle's portrait of the scientist remains rich with comic nuance (Sunday Times)
A fascinating look at post-war American views on sex, along with a compelling and very humane study on the nature of desire, jealousy, love and marriage. Plus, it's stuffed with sex! (Daily Mirror)
This is a wonderful novel, beautifully constructed and written, and constantly compelling. Boyle just gets better and better (Daily Mail)
Boyle writes with page, verve and breathtaking insight (Independent)
Savage satirical wit ... funny and sad and sharply cautionary (Financial Times)
Devilishly entertaining ... A blistering satire (Entertainment Weekly)
The voyeuristic frisson of the material is all pleasure ... Best of all, The Inner Circle is fun to read, and that is amazingly rare in modern literary fiction (Economist)
Anything goes in T.C. Boyle's imaginary world. so long as it is raw, elemental and in excess (Daily Telegraph)
Kinsey is in some ways a perfect subject for this sly and intrepid novelist . while Boyle is fascinated by the zealous energy of perfectionists like Kinsey, he is at bottom a defender of romance against the tyranny of reason (New York Times Book Review)
