Bøger af Erica Jong

Five years of marriage have made her itchy - itchy for men, and itchy for solitude. Ditching her second husband during a work conference in Vienna she decides to cut and run, criss-crossing her way across Europe in search of the perfect no-strings-attached tryst - and she won't let a little thing like a fear of flying get in her way.

VINGESKUDT er en morsom, hjerteskærende og smuk historie, om hvad der sker, når en kvinde modvilligt træder ind i sit livs efterår. Vanessa Wonderman er en smuk forhenværende skuespillerinde i tresserne, der balancerer mellem sine døende forældre, sin ældende mand og sin højtelskede, gravide datter. Selvom Vanessa opfatter sig selv som en lykkeligt gift kvinde, får fraværet af et aktivt sexliv hende til at føle, at hun mister noget, der er for værdifuldt til at ignorere. Derfor indrykker hun en sex-annonce på en hjemmeside, og det liv hun kender begynder at krakelere. Med hjælp og rådgivning fra sin bedste veninde, Isadora Wing, navigerer hun omkring i denne nye og ukendte verden, og hun begynder at spørge sig selv om det hun leder efter måske slet ikke er så langt væk.

Reveals that every woman has her own answer. The author talks about the excruciating hazards of casual sex, while Gail Collins recounts her Catholic upbringing in Cincinnati and the nuns who passionately forbade her from having carnal relations.

Erica Jong's two rules of writing are "never cut funny" and "keep the pages turning." And Jong delivers in these twenty-six essays, coupling frank and risqu? stories about her own life with provocative pieces on her passion for politics, literature, Italy, and-yes-sex. Originally published in 1998, this updated edition features four new essays. What Do Women Want? offers a startlingly original look at where women are-and where they need to be in the twenty-first century: Are women better off today than they were twenty-five years ago? Has burning pre-nup agreements become the new peak of romance? Why do our greatest women writers too often get dissed and overlooked? Why do powerful women scare men? And who is the perfect man? How does the mother-daughter relationship influence cycles of feminism and backlash? Will Hillary become president? What is sexy?

Any Woman's Blues, first published in 1990, is a tale of addiction and narcissism-the twin obsessions of ourage. World-famous folk singer Leila Sand emerged from the sixties and seventies with addictions to drugs and booze. Leila's latest addiction is to a younger man who leaves her sexually ecstatic but emotionally bereft. The orgasmic frenzies trump the betrayals, so she keeps coming back for more. Eventually, Leila frees herself by learning the rules of love, the Twelve Steps, and the Key to Serenity in an odyssey that takes her from AA meetings to dens of sin, parties with "names" worth dropping, and erotic gondola rides.

A foundling, Fanny, is raised by adoptive parents, Lord and Lady Bellars, but is forced to flee to London when her libertine stepfather ravishes her. After toiling in a London brothel, Fanny embarks on a series of adventures that teach her what she must know to live and prosper as a woman.

A kaleidoscopic collection of the author's provocative prose, covering politics, pornography, motherhood and writing, with turns from Hillary Rodham Clinton, Lolita, Princess Diana and Louise Woodward.

Picks up the story of Isadora three years after the events of "Fear of Flying". Isadora is by now an older, wiser and somewhat more rueful heroine. This time her odyssey takes her to the never-never land called California where she meets a variety of sharks, knaves, fools - and one real lover.

Fear of Flying has sold 27 million copies worldwide. It's a novel that has transcended place and time.Erica Jong is at the forefront of cultural debate once more. Fear of Dying is set to storm into the autumn and grab the zeitgeist by the throat.

In this collection one of the most popular and controversial of contemporary writers has her say. In interviews from 1973 to 2001, Jong relates the extraordinary experience she gained as a pioneer of sexual writing from a female point of view.

Career, baby and a gloriously liberated love life; suddenly single, uninhibited Isadora is besieged by more suitors than she can keep track of: an Orthodox rabbi, a poetic DJ, the son of a famous sex therapist and, finally, Bean, the demonic-Byronic lover she's searched for all her life.
