Recenzii
Boyle is one of America's most fluent, dazzling and readable writers ... So vivid is his prose that we get caught up in the relationships between the circle, their unconventional marriages, their attempts to combat jealousy for the sake of society's enlightenment
His satire is spot-on ... Boyle's portrait of the scientist remains rich with comic nuance
A fascinating look at post-war American views on sex, along with a compelling and very humane study on the nature of desire, jealousy, love and marriage. Plus, it's stuffed with sex!
This is a wonderful novel, beautifully constructed and written, and constantly compelling. Boyle just gets better and better
Boyle writes with page, verve and breathtaking insight
Savage satirical wit ... funny and sad and sharply cautionary
Devilishly entertaining ... A blistering satire
The voyeuristic frisson of the material is all pleasure ... Best of all, The Inner Circle is fun to read, and that is amazingly rare in modern literary fiction
Anything goes in T.C. Boyle's imaginary world. so long as it is raw, elemental and in excess
Kinsey is in some ways a perfect subject for this sly and intrepid novelist . while Boyle is fascinated by the zealous energy of perfectionists like Kinsey, he is at bottom a defender of romance against the tyranny of reason
The Inner Circle is a harrowing depiction of how questionable are some of the consequences of sexual liberation . that the novel is a page-turner, with lots of sex in it, only serves Boyle's purpose all the better
The novel is a captivating and emotionally compelling exploration of a key chapter in American cultural history
No one better than T.C. Boyle can hoover a sentence out of the god's imaginations and set it in glitter on the page
Boyle's novel is not only a fascinating portrayal of a fatally flawed but deeply charismatic man; it is also an intricate psychological study of the complexities of sexual desire
I found it fascinating how Boyle interwove fact and fiction to produce a really good read, and would recommend it both as being a good yarn and informative about Kinsey and that era in America
One of the finest American contemporary novelists, his name on the cover of the book a guarantee of an intelligent and stimulating read. Most exciting of all that fact that he's getting better all the time. Most exciting of all is the fact that he's getting better all the time
Boyle brilliantly evokes pioneering sex researcher Alfred Kinsey and the hothouse atmosphere he created within his circle of acolytes
