Synopsis:

Isadora Wing, a poet, accompanies her psychiatrist husband Bennett to a conference in Vienna. She suddenly leaves him for a protracted affair with Adrian Goodlove, a British psychologist. When first published in 1973, Erica Jong's highly autobiographical novel became a bestseller noted for its themes of sex, feminism, and consciousness-raising.

Book Reviews:

"It is rare these days to come upon a book written by a woman which is so refreshing, so gay and sad at the same time, and so full of wisdom about the eternal man-woman problem....This book will make literary history....[B]ecause of it women are going to find their own voice and give us great sagas of sex, life, joy and adventure."

New York Times - Henry Miller (1973)

"FEAR OF FLYING...belongs to and hilariously extends the tradition of CATCHER IN THE RYE and PORTNOY'S COMPLAINT."

New Yorker - John Updike (1973)
