Publication date: May 8, 2012. Adoption-Link was founded by Edmund White's sister Margaret to find loving homes for vulnerable children. John Irving writes a sweeping narrative of the life of Billy Abbott, a bisexual man who struggles throughout the course of a half-century with his sexual identity and desire for meaningful connections. Although Irving fans will find here some familiar elements (wrestling, absent fathers), Billy is a wholly original--and unforgettable--hero. ALWAYS wrapped securely and shipped in a sturdy box for added protection. I may have multiple copies of this book for sale. If I do, all were signed the same day, at the same signing event, at the same time, using the same pen by the author. I use only one listing photo of the signed book page for all the listings, and each signature page, naturally, may be slightly different. If you have any questions, please ask. BS40775.Like New
