In One Person by John Irving
John Irving's latest novel,
In One Person, is narrated by William Abbott, who recalls his troubles as a bra-wearing teenage boy who struggles with his sexuality. As Billy begins to realize that there is no such thing as having "crushes on the wrong people," he becomes familiar with the politics of gender bending, bisexuality, and cross-dressing. The author also poignantly examines the AIDS epidemic, and the devastation that arose from the deadly disease. Irving's novel gives the reader a passionate, and in-depth look at the life of a bisexual man who fights to find his place in the world.
