The Catcher Was a Spy / int_bd0230fb	type	Ambiguously Bi
The Catcher Was a Spy / int_bd0230fb	comment	Ambiguously Bi: Berg has a very passionate sex scene with his girlfriend Estella Huni, yet it's all but explicitly stated that he's attracted to men and has a one-night stand with Kawabata. He also never marries Estella, is emotionally distant from her, and flatly tells her that he'd rather take a trip without her, so it's never exactly clear whether she's acting as his beard.
