Erica Jong (2016 Event)

Back in 1973, Erica Jong’s Fear of Flying introduced the
beguiling Isadora Wing and her idea of ‘zipless’
no-strings-attached sex. The book became a bestselling icon of
the sexual revolution. Now, in this event recorded live at the
2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival, Jong presents Fear of
Dying, the coming-of-age story of a 60 year old woman who happens
to be Isadora’s friend. Alongside a continued appetite for sex,
Isadora and friend face their fear of ageing and the spectre of
death. Chaired by Ruth Wishart.
