Synopsis
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."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
