Summary
Erica Jong: Fear of Fifty
In the book with the picturesque title "Fear of Fifty", a New York Times bestseller when it was first published in 1994, the aggressive feminist Erica Jong looks back on the second half of her life, providing very entertaining anecdotes and provocative insights about sex, marriage, aging, feminism and motherhood. As always, Erica is honest and without a trace of self-pity, and at the same time recognizes herself as a person with weaknesses and strengths that she has learned to live with with a ton of humor. With passion and openness, he exposes the peculiar chaos of his bohemian Russian Jewish family. This is how she introduces us to her career as a poet, her long-term infatuation with Italy, her many short-term loves with men, including a British academic. Her marriages were full of sadness and joy, experiments and obsessions.
