Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine, black boards & maroon end papers, unclipped, gold embossed gilt spine, bubble wrapped, mylar pro; 5* seller. A compelling 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, 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. His most political novel since The Cider House Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany, John Irving's In One Person is a poignant tribute to Billy's friends and lovers -- a theatrical cast of characters who defy category and convention.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Gebraucht. Gebraucht - Sehr gut SG - leichte Beschädigungen, Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, Versand Büchersendung - The protagonist and first person narrator of In One Person, Billy Abbott, is bisexual. Why do you think bisexuals are rarely represented in literature Irving, John: The bisexual men I have known were not shy, nor were they 'conflicted'. (This is also true of the bisexual men I know now.) I would say, too, that both my oldest and youngest bisexual male friends are among the most confident men I have ever known. Yet bisexual men - of my generation, especially - were generally distrusted. Their gay male friends thought of them as gay guys who were hedging their bets, or holding back - or keeping a part of themselves in the closet. To most straight men, the only part of a bisexual man that registers is the gay part; to many straight women, a bi guy is doubly untrustworthy - he could leave you for another woman or for a guy! The bisexual occupies what Edmund White calls 'the interstitial - whatever lies between two familiar opposites'. I can't speculate on why other writers may choose to eschew the bisexual as a potential main character - especially as a point-of-view character (Billy Abbott is an outspoken first-person narrator). I just know that sexual misfits have always appealed to me; writers are outsiders - at least we're supposed to be 'detached'. Well, I find sexual outsiders especially engaging. There is the gay brother in The Hotel New Hampshire; there are the gay twins (separated at birth) in A Son of the Circus; there are transsexual characters in The World According to Garp and in A Son of the Circus, and now again (this time, much more developed as characters) in In One Person. I like these people; they attract me, and I fear for their safety - I worry about who might hate them and wish them harm. Great Expectations has an enormous influence on Billy in more than one respect. What are some of the books that helped to define and influence you at a young age John Irving: Like Billy, I spent some of my childhood backstage in a small-town theatre; my mother, who - in many respects - was not like Billy's mother, was a prompter in a small-town theatre. My earliest interest in storytelling came from the theatre, and I imagined myself as an actor (onstage, never in the movies) before I imagined being a novelist. But Great Expectations, and other novels by Dickens, inspired me to want to write those plotted, character-driven novels of the 19th century - also Hardy, Melville, Hawthorne; also Flaubert and Mann and the Russian writers. But before I was old enough to appreciate those novels, I saw Shakespeare and Sophocles onstage; those plays have plots. There were plots in the theatre - centuries before the earliest novels were written. Y ou do a magnificent job portraying the AIDS crisis in New York in this novel. Was it difficult for you to encapsulate this moment in history John Irving: If you mean 'difficult' in terms of research, no. Other novels have been much harder, in terms of research - in terms of having to teach myself about something foreign to me - than In One Person. But, yes, it was difficult - personally. I lived in New York City from '81 till '86; I was there at the start of the AIDS crisis, I lost friends (young and old) to that disease. I had no desire to revisit some of those memories. But I have two good friends (and fellow writers) who I knew would be reading this manuscript - over my shoulder, so to speak. I doubt I would have begun writing In One Person if I didn't know I could count on these two friends as essential readers: Edmund White and Abraham Verghese. I knew if I made a mistake, they would catch it; I have complete faith in their authority. They gave me confidence; they allowed me to write freely - they were my safety nets. In One Person features some of the classic signatures that your readers have come to expect to find in your books: wrestling, living abroad in Vienna, the lo.
