In Kinsey's 'Inner Circle'

T. Coraghessan Boyle's next novel The Inner Circle -- his sixteenth -- has just sold to Viking. The agent's blurb is intriguing for a Boyle work, from Publishers Lunch:

"...at heart a love story about a meek and sexually naïve young man who becomes an assistant to Dr. Alfred Kinsey in his early days as a researcher in human sexuality (where sexual experimentation is asked of those in the inner circle), moving through the controversial publication of Kinsey's books on male and female sexuality and his death in 1956..."

Also, Michael Reagan, the radio talk show host who's the adopted son of Ronald Reagan, has sold Twice Adopted, "his journey of being adopted into a famous family, suffering child molestation from a non-family member, and surviving to follow a wonderful faith journey." It's written with Jim Denney and sold to Broadman & Holman Publishers.
