Fear of Dying is big, warm-hearted, generous book that will satisfy Jong's longtime fans and delight her new readers." - Jennifer Weiner "Moving and deeply poetic, Fear of Dying is a compelling novel that truly understands the process of aging. I loved reading it." - Woody Allen "Erica Jong has done it again! Fear of Dying is a big, bawdy, beautifully-written romp through online hookups, female friendships, children grappling with adulthood and parents negotiating with death. "How Erica is able to deal with all these sensitive issues and still make the book funny is amazing. Wildly funny and searingly honest, it is a story for everyone who has ever been shaken and changed by love. Fear of Dying is a daring and delightful look at what it really takes to be human and female in the 21st century. Could her fountain of youth fantasies be fulfilled on ? A site inspired by the writings of her best friend, Isadora Wing, it promises "no strings attached" encounters-and Vanessa is so restless that she's willing to try anything.
With her best years as an actress behind her, she's discovering that beginnings are easy, but endings can be hard. FEAR OF DYING As the afternoon of life looms over Vanessa Wonderman, she watches her parents age, attends doctor appointments with her pregnant daughter, and sits by the hospital bed of her husband, Asher, fifteen years her senior. Full of the sly humor, deep wisdom and poignancy we know from her poetry, fiction and essays, she delivers the novel women everywhere have been waiting for.
Now she does it again by giving us powerful, new perspective on the next phase of women's lives. Her world-wide bestseller, FEAR OF FLYING opened the doors for writers from Jennifer Weiner to Lena Dunham.
Four decades ago, Erica Jong revolutionized the way we look at love, marriage and sex.
