Publisher Description

Erica Jong—like Isadora Wing, her fictional doppelganger—was rich and famous, brainy and beautiful, and soaring high with erotica and marijuana in 1977, the year this book was first published.

Erica/Isadora are the perfect literary and libidinous guides for those readers who want to learn about—or just be reminded of—the sheer hedonistic innocence of the time. How to Save Your Own Life was praised by People for being "shameless, sex-saturated and a joy," and hailed by Anthony Burgess as one of the ninety-nine best novels published in English since 1939.

In a wild whirlwind of passion and liberation, Jong delivered a seductive and revelatory tale that is as timeless as it is audacious.

Great Read

Great book about the coming of age in the early 70's and 80's. Made me realize that there is nothing new under the sun, but each generation wants to pretend that we know a great deal more... But in reality we might just say it a bit differently!!!
