Award-winning author Erica Jong develops the phenomenal story of a woman in pursuit of liberation in 'Fear of Flying.' Isadora Wing dreams compulsively about drinking the marrow of life; lured away from her psychiatrist husband into exuberant roadside experiences, Isadora is left to face the ghosts of her past on a passionate existential journey. "An explosion of light and joy ... One has to go back to 'Lolita' to find an odyssey of misadventurous love-and-sex affairs as funny and sad, as witty and inventive, and as true as this. If you just read it for the language, for a poet's shocks of insight, you'll get your money's worth. And you'll have a marvelous time besides" (Elizabeth Janeway).
