Seducing the Demon: Writing for My Life
by Erica Jong
by Erica Jong
In the seventies I read Fear of Flying (didn't everyone) and I loved it. It was a whole new world for women, and critical to the Women's Movement.
I read this book thinking it would be a good personal account of the author's life. I got nothing. She had an affair with Martha Stewart's husband - big deal. That was the only major thing she told us about. Perhaps this book was not meant to be a tell all memoir like most I read. Considering how outspoken Erica Jong usually is, I am disappointed she held back after finally writing about herself. It was a very quick read, but if I had to tell anyone what the high points were, I would have to say none.
