Fear of Flying<\/em>,\u00c2\u00a0Erica Jong<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first and most famous novel published in 1973, blew conventional thinking about women, marriage and sexuality out of the water, selling over 37 million copies and being translated into over 45 languages including Chinese and Arabic. Her novel articulated what women thought but which, through decades of silent complicity with the status quo, was never voiced. In\u00c2\u00a0Isadora Wing<\/em>, her fictional doppelganger, Erica created every woman \u00e2\u20ac\u201c not as she existed in public life in the 70s, but inside a woman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own mind. Sex and sexuality, while being at the core of most of Jong\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s writing, is almost incidental to what makes her one of the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most iconic writers. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not the sex itself but the fact that she quietly flouted the unspoken norms of the day to talk about it unblinkingly \u00e2\u20ac\u201c neither voyeur, nor prude \u00e2\u20ac\u201c that made her a pillar of the sexual revolution and a hero to millions, as well as gaining her the admiration of writers like John Updike, Henry Miller, Anthony Burgess and Jennifer Weiner.<\/p>\n

In the four decades since\u00c2\u00a0FEAR OF FLYING<\/em>, she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s published over 25 books in 45 languages, including 9 works of fiction as well as celebrated non-fiction volumes such as\u00c2\u00a0WHAT DO WOMEN WANT?, SEDUCING THE DEMON: WRITING FOR MY LIFE,<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0an anthology on \u00e2\u20ac\u201c well, sex \u00e2\u20ac\u201c called\u00c2\u00a0SUGAR IN MY BOWL: REAL WOMEN WRITE ABOUT REAL SEX<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0that she edited, and in 2012, a Kindle Single,\u00c2\u00a0A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT<\/em>, which bravely takes on the issues facing American women today. Comfortable and eloquent in various genres, she has switched between fiction, non-fiction and poetry almost effortlessly, becoming one of the most evocative poets of her generation with 7 published volumes, and winning Poetry magazine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Bess Hokin Prize.<\/p>\n

Erica has won many awards for poetry and fiction all over the world. These awards include: The Fernanda Pivano award in Italy, The Sigmund Freud Award in Italy, the Deauville Award in France and The United Nations Award for excellence in literature.<\/p>\n

The true star of Erica\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s writing is courage. She’s spoken openly of her demons with writing and her chronic self-doubt. She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dared to examine under a public microscope her most intimate relationships \u00e2\u20ac\u201c with her fiery mother who raged with anger at having to sacrifice a painting career to look after family; with her four husbands who included a writer, a psychiatrist and her current husband of 29 years, a divorce lawyer; and with her beloved daughter, writer and satirist Molly Jong-Fast who is also shared with her three wonderful grandchildren.<\/p>\n
