Fear of Flying by Erica Jong

Jewishness, psychoanalysis, sex. Those three words pretty much sum up this book. And boring. She writes better, I think, about "her" (the narrator's) past than present. Not really my cup of tea ... a bit too "so what?" Shame. I'd been quite looking forward to it ... before I realised what it was about! The prose style was fine, readable, but the storyline was a bit inconsequential. I would therefore disgree with John Updike's description of it: 'Unihibited, erotic, delicious ... a winner'. Apparently it was the "modern classic that changed the way we thought about sex". Hmmm. Nice cover, though.
