Erica Jong

How to Save Your Own Life (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Erica Jong-like Isadora Wing, her fictional doppelganger-was rich and famous, brainy and beautiful, and soaring high with erotica and marijuana in 1977, the year this book was first published. Erica/Isadora are the perfect literary and libidinous guides for those readers who want to learn about-or just be reminded of-the sheer hedonistic innocence of the time. How to Save Your Own Life was praised by People for being "shameless, sex-saturated and a joy," and hailed by Anthony Burgess as one of the ninety-nine best novels published in English since 1939. In a wild whirlwind of passion and liberation, Jong delivered a seductive and revelatory tale that is as timeless as it is audacious.
