Finding Normal

An author’s up-close tour of people who are using the Internet to challenge the boundaries of what’s taboo and what it means to be normal.

Based on a popular series of candid interviews conducted for New York magazine’s human science column—”What It’s Like”—Finding Normal explores the ways that real people are using the Internet to find community, forge connections, and create identity in ways that challenge a variety of accepted sexual norms. Ranging from the atypical to the shocking, each story in Finding Normal intimately immerses the reader in the world of a person who is grappling with a unique set of circumstances relating to sexuality.
