When her first novel, Fear of Flying, was published in 1973, Erica Jong transformed the American literary landscape by bringing her unique blend of sexual candor, wit, and insight to bear upon women’s experiences. Join us as Parul Sehgal, editor at the New York Times Book Review and award-winning critic, interviews Jong about her forthcoming novel, Fear of Dying, and her career as a novelist, nonfiction writer, and poet. Jong has written over 20 books, including What Do Women Want and Seducing the Demon: Writing for My Life.
Free, Reservations Required.
