I think it was fear of flying that I read by her.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

This is the debris and detritus of Godless women, the pungent effluent from a sewage pipe.

[j.havenfarm]

Sounds fascinating. The books will be flying off the shelf /s

[nickcarraway]

I think it was a bestseller in the 70s.

[nickcarraway]

How was it?

[Big Red Badger]

There’s ‘Saints and Ain’ts’
in this
Upholstered Sewer.

[Pilsner]

If you listen carefully, you can hear Michael Jackson’s surviving siblings shaking their heads in disapproval over someone exploiting a family member for personal gain like this.

Erica Jong is still alive.

[lodi90]

A “feminist” who just couldn’t get enough of men.

[Chgogal]

Who?

Seriously, who?

[ansel12]

I don’t recall, some of the feminist books didn’t stay with me.

[Chickensoup]

The zip less f@@k

Boring.

The zip less f@@k

Boring.

Funny...I just had her pop up in my memory a couple days ago. I read Fear of Flying but don’t really remember it...just that it pushed the limits at the time...but actually probably turned me off to a lot of feminist stuff.

[jocon307]

This seems sad for all involved.

[nickcarraway]

Definitely.

[T.B. Yoits]

Erica Jong (née Mann) was a typical New York City Leftist, albeit one who published her disordered thinking.

At the time, other disordered Leftists felt validated by her work. They don't talk about it much because even reading it made them worse after the initial hoopla died down.

[BarbM]

Who?

Seriously, who?
