Originally published in 1973, the groundbreaking, uninhibited story of Isadora Wing and her desire to fly free caused a national sensation. In The New York Times, Henry Miller compared it to his own classic, Tropic of Cancer and predicted that "this book will make literary history..." It has sold more than 12-million copies. Now, after 30 years, the revolutionary novel known as Fear of Flying still stands as a timeless tale of self-discovery, liberation, and womanhood.

Why Didn't I Read This When I Was 16?
Revisado: 01-25-14
What did you love best about Fear of Flying?
Jong's unflinching narrator finds her voice and her core through the course of this book. Many contemporary culture makers such as Lena Dunham owe a debt to this book.
What other book might you compare Fear of Flying to and why?
Books? Movies. I would compare all of Woody Allen's movies and later Lena Dunham's Tiny Furniture and Girls to Fear of Flying.
Have you listened to any of Hope Davis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
She carries the right outrage and coolness the book's narrator contains.
If you could rename Fear of Flying, what would you call it?
Handbook for Young Women: How to Avoid Distraction Through a Series of Questions
Any additional comments?
I can't wait for my daughter to be old enough to read this. I hope it will provide her with iconography that she can identify necessary and sometimes painful transitions by. It is not theory, this conversational book, it is literature.
If you make it to the end, listen to the interview with Erica Jong. It reveals her lifelong support of women's voices.
