Synopsis
Inquiring minds have always wanted to know more about Erica Jong, the author best known for the novel FEAR OF FLYING, which has sold millions since it debuted in 1973. In SEDUCING THE DEMON, Jong surveys the major topics of her life and work: relationships, feminism, desire, psychotherapy, travel, passion, the writing life--and, of course, sex--including some kiss-and-tell. She deals openly with the fame and excess that marked her life, and shares the perspective that time brings. Included are appreciations of writers who mattered to her, including Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, and Henry Miller. What comes through is her strong self-directive not to burn out, and her belief that, in the end, what matter most are family and art--and, of course, sex.

Industry Reviews
"If leaving the reader wanting more is the mark of success, then Jong succeeds."
(02/15/2006)
"[Jong's] memoir in vignettes asserts that without writing, Jong would go crazy, drink well beyond the excesses of her past and be miserable. Writing has propelled her forward into a fulfilled life....Engaging and amusing...."

"There is a very good lesson in this for people who worship celebrities and famous people and have unrealistic expectations of them!"
