Fear of Fifty

Fear of Flying made Erica Jong an icon of feminist liberation. Her mid-life memoir, Fear of Fifty, is a passionate look at marriage and motherhood, fame, creativity, men and sex -all recounted with her own fearless mix of candour and irreverence.

‘The sharpness of her epigrams spurt across the page… she is plainly wild, impossible, unreasonable, pursued by dark things, yet brings shafts of revelation and brightness into dark places. Erica Jong lives very dangerously’
