Seducing The Demon : Writing For My Life
This sublime and salacious story of one writer's long and successful career as a poet, novelist, and feminist provocateur is refreshingly direct--whether she is writing sex scenes or conforming to the rigid narrative of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Erica Jong's memoir-a national bestseller-was probably the most wildly reviewed book of 2006. Critics called it everything from "brutally funny," "risquA1/2 and wonderfully unrepentant," and "rowdy, self-deprecating, and endearing" to "a car wreck."* Throughout her book tour, Jong was unflappably funny, and responded to her critics with a hilarious essay on NPR's "All Things Considered," which is included in this paperback edition. In addition to prominent review and feature coverage, Jong was a guest on "Today" and "Real Time with Bill Maher," Even Rush Limbaugh flirted with Jong on his radio program: "I think she wants me. I think she's fantasizing about me." Love her, hate her, Jong still knows how to seduce the country and, most important, keep the pages turning.
