This fascinating biography describes Kinsey's strict Methodist upbringing, his love of minute observation (which he applied first to academic entomology and then to human sexuality), and the obsessive work ethic that contributed to his death. Kinsey is perhaps even more controversial today than he was when his books were first published. Some researchers and religious groups have attacked his work. The man himself has frequently been lost in all of the claims and counterclaims, attacks and defenses, as well as the efforts to make his life conform to predetermined theories. Gathorne-Hardy --whose biography is the first to offer a balanced portrait-- conducted in-depth interviews with surviving family members, close colleagues, friends, and lovers. This subtle, penetrating study offers not just a series of new revelations, but whole new aspects of this complex and ultimately sympathetic man. (Book jacket)
