Fresh on the heels of his acclaimed novel Drop City, which was a New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the National Book Award, T. C.

The Inner Circle makes use of Alfred Kinsey’s controversial studies on human sexuality—and the fascinating details of Kinsey’s life and those of the men who worked for him—to create an irresistible tale about the interaction between our human and animal natures.
