Publisher's Notes
First Line: "I left my husband on Thanksgiving Day."
Industry Reviews
"I am deeply impressed by 'How to Save Your Own Life', by its vitality, warmth, intelligence, and courage."
Ingmar Bergman
"There is a good deal of wisdom, not all of it grateful to liberated women: let all women, says Ms. Jong's heroine, claim their right to orgasm (cognate with the right to color television) and then let's all get on with the real business of living. This means love."
Afterword - Anthony Burgess
"When the talk about its explicit sex dies down, the novel will be remembered for its extraordinary revelations about fame--and the power and foolishness that come with it. The miracle is that Erica Jong has the courage to be this vulnerable."
Letty Cottin Pogrebin
"Erica Jong writes with the gusto of Dickens. She is funny, sentimental, angry and rueful by turn, and her new book is full of feeling and warmth."
Book Jacket - Frank MacShane
"Erica Jong has taken Wing again, and again the flight is brave and witty and artful....Afraid of flying? Ms. Jong is pilot, stewardess, and in-flight movie rolled into one. Not to mention liquor and eatables."
Book Jacket - Ira Levin
