Abstract

Erica Jong, the author and educator, is best known for her first novel, Fear of Flying, which was published in 1973 shortly after she graduated Barnard College and Columbia University's Graduate Facilities, where she had studied eighteenth-century English literature. The novel created a sensation with its frank treatment of a woman's sexual desires. She is the author of eight novels and several have been worldwide best-sellers. She has taught literature and writing at various universities and her works have appeared all over the world, being as popular in Eastern Europe, Japan, China and Asia as they have been in the United States and Western Europe. In 1998 she was honored with the United Nations Award for Excellence in Literature.
