Fear of Flying - 40th Edition

A striking deluxe edition commemorating the 40th anniversary of Erica Jong's groundbreaking classic Before Hannah from Girls , Anastasia Steele from Fifty Shades of Grey , and Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City , there was Isadora Wing, the uninhibited, outspoken protagonist of Erica Jong's revolutionary novel. First published in 1973, Fear of Flying caused a national sensation, fueling fantasies, igniting debates about women and sex, and introducing a notorious phrase to the English language. Forty years later, Isadora's honest and exuberant retelling of her sexual adventures--and misadventures--continues to provoke and inspire, and stands as an iconic tale of self-discovery, liberation, and womanhood. With provocative cover art by illustrator Noma Bar, this special fortieth-anniversary edition will introduce a new generation of women to Jong's pioneering novel.
