| Publisher Description: Erica Jong's memoir-a national bestseller-was probably the most wildly reviewed book of 2006. Critics called it everything from brutally funny, risqu? and wonderfully unrepentant, and rowdy, self-deprecating, and endearing to a car wreck.* Throughout her book tour, Jong was unflappably funny, and responded to her critics with a hilarious essay on NPR's All Things Considered, which is included in this paperback edition. In addition to prominent review and feature coverage, Jong was a guest on Today and Real Time with Bill Maher. Even Rush Limbaugh flirted with Jong on his radio program: I think she wants me. I think she's fantasizing about me. Love her, hate her, Jong still knows how to seduce the country and, most important, keep the pages turning. |
