Fear of Flyingby Erica Jong
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Now with a new Introduction by the author, this 30th anniversary edition of Jong's groundbreaking novel introduces a new generation of women to its timeless tale of self-discovery, liberation, and womanhood. Reissue. Review:"[A] revisit to Fear of Flying feels more familiar than I expected. If the adventures described in Jong's novel decidedly belong to 1973, the tone — confiding and casual, a pell-mell cascade of soul-searching — has stayed with us ever since....Updike thought he saw Chaucer's Wife of Bath in Isadora Wing. Millions of women thought they saw themselves. They could have done worse." Laura Miller, The New York Times Review:"Extraordinary...at once wildly funny and very wise." Los Angeles Times Review:"A picaresque, funny, touching adventure." New York Review of Books Review:"Fear of Flying...belongs to and hilariously extends the tradition of Catcher in the Rye and Portnoy's Complaint." John Updike, New Yorker Review:"It is rare these days to come upon a book written by a woman which is so refreshing, so gay and sad at the same time, and so full of wisdom about the eternal man-woman problem.... This book will make literary history....[B]ecause of it women are going to find their own voice and give us great sagas of sex, life, joy and adventure."Henry Miller, New York Times Review:"It was sex, of course, that made Fear of Flying such a hit, and the book...still has the capacity to make a person reading it on the subway feel suddenly self-conscious.... Fear of Flying is sloppily written and lousy with clichés. But fastidious good taste is not perhaps absolutely essential in a novel." Laura Miller, New York Times Book Review Synopsis:The influential novel on women's sexuality returns to expose a new generation of women to Isadora Wing's adventures when she meets the man who embodies her most erotic fantasies.
