"A biting satire of emotional manipulation, sexual indiscretion, and scientific hubris."--The Boston Globe   A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Tribune   In 1940, John Milk, a virginal young man, accepts a job as an assistant to Dr. Alfred Kinsey, and extraordinarily charming professor of zoology at Indiana University who has just discovered his life's true calling: sex.   As a member of Kinsey's "inner circle" of researchers, Milk and his beautiful new wife are called on to participate in sexual experiments that become increasingly uninhibited--and problematic for his marriage. For in his later years, Kinsey, who behind closed doors is a sexual enthusiast of the first order, ever more recklessly pushed the boundaries both personally and professionally.   At heart a moving and compassionate look at sex, marriage, jealousy, and infidelity, The Inner Circle makes use of Alfred Kinsey's controversial studies on human sexuality to create an irresistible tale about the interaction between our human and animal natures.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A "riveting" (The Wall Street Journal) and "wonderfully entertaining" (The Boston Globe) account of Frank Lloyd Wright's life, told through the experiences of the four women who loved him.   "Boyle handles the big themes--Wright the genius battling an uncomprehending, philistine world and Wright the man loving and loathing his women--with extraordinary brio."--San Francisco Chronicle   Is it easy to live with a genius? Frank Lloyd Wright's life was one long, howling struggle against the bonds of convention, whether aesthetic, social, moral, or romantic. He never did what was expected, and he never let anything get in the way of his larger-than-life appetites and visions.   Wright's triumphs and defeats were always tied to the women he loved: Olgivanna Milanoff, an imperious Montenegrin beauty who was a student of the Russian mystic Gurdjieff and was known by Wright's apprentices as "the Dragon Lady"; Maude Miriam Noel, a passionate Southern belle with a mean temper and a fondness for morphine; the spirited Mamah Borthwick Cheney, tragically murdered at Wright's Wisconsin estate, Taliesin, in 1914; and his young first wife, Kitty Tobin, with whom he had six children.   T.C. Boyle deftly captures these very different women and, in doing so, creates a sexy, gripping drama about marriage, the bargains men and women make, and the privileges and pitfalls of genius and fame.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A "fierce [and] funny" (Entertainment Weekly) collection of fourteen stories exploring humanity's wild side, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Tortilla Curtain "Whether Boyle is breaking your heart or making you laugh, you just don't care because he is so darned good at it."--San Francisco Chronicle   The fourteen stories gathered here display Boyle's imaginative muscle, emotional sensitivity, and astonishing range. There are whimsical tales, including "Swept Away," which tells of a female ornithologist who falls in love on the blustery island of Unst, and "The Kind Assassin," about a bored and loveless radio shock jock who sets the world record for most continuous hours without sleep--and who may never sleep again.
