In One Person by John Irving

Great website here: http://john-irving.com/in-one-person-by-john-irving/


"An elderly bisexual man looks back upon his life and romances, reflecting on his unfulfilled loves and broken dreams."

In our group, feelings ranged from “loved it to “found it annoying.”  From fascinating insight into the experience of being gay to not being able to believe that one person could have all those experiences.  As an author, Irving drives home his message, overcompensates, and overdoes the point.  Grandfather’s life would be very different if it were nowadays.
