Calling all John Irving fans! We are very excited to publish In One Person on May 8, 2012. Several readers in our office are raving about it, and we wanted to give you a chance to win an advance reading copy before the finished books appear in stores!

This is a story of unfulfilled love—tormented, funny, and affecting—and an intimate, unforgettable portrait of the novel’s bisexual narrator and main character, Billy Abbott. As Billy says: “We are formed by what we desire.”
