Den Norske Bokdatabasens omtale:
Romanens hovedperson, den biseksuelle Billy, forteller om sin oppvekst i en amerikansk småby. Som 13-åring oppsøker han biblioteket for å finne bøker om å forelske seg i feil personer. Bibliotekaren, Miss Frost, gir ham bøker av Brontë-søstrene, og samme kveld forfører hun Billy. Romanen handler bl.a. om vennskap og kjærlighet på tvers av alder og kjønn.

Forlagets omtale:
A compelling novel of desire, secrecy, and sexual identity, In One Person is a story of unfulfilled love -- tormented, funny, and affecting -- and an impassioned embrace of our sexual differences. Billy, the bisexual narrator and main character, tells the tragicomic story (lasting more than half a century) of his life as a ‘sexual suspect‘, a phrase first used by John Irving in 1978 -- in his landmark novel of ‘terminal cases‘, The World According to Garp. His most political novel since The Cider House Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany, John Irving‘s In One Person is a poignant tribute to Billy‘s friends and lovers -- a theatrical cast of characters who defy category and convention. Not least, In One Person is an intimate and unforgettable portrait of the solitariness of a bisexual man who is dedicated to making himself ‘worthwhile‘.
