"Belongs to and hilariously extends the tradition of "Catcher in the Rye" and Portnoy's "Complaint".... [F]earless and fresh, tender and exact... " -John Updike
"The boundary-breaking novel that redefined sexuality." "-O magazine"
"The book that started it all by the woman who started it all." -Naomi Wolf
"Extraordinary...at once wildly funny and very wise." --"Los Angeles Times"
"The first true loss of intimacy, security, and love in a woman's life typically brings her face to face with the terror of being alone: She must endure the insane pounding heart and not go mad. This is what Erica Jong's classic novel "Fear of Flying "is really all about: being snipped from the emotional strings that tie you to a man, going into free fall, and, perhaps, learning to fly."-- "BookForum
