Erica Jong | 2019 AWP Conference and Bookfair
Erica Jong's groundbreaking 1973 debut 'Fear of Flying' ascended her into literary icon status, particularly with its (at that time) controversial portray of female sexuality. She has written more than 20 books, including non-fiction and poetry, and has won the United Nations Award for excellence in literature. We’re here at #AWP2019 discussing her latest, ‘Fear of Dying,’ a spiritual sequel.
