Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
HarperCollins proudly announces a major publishing event! From Erica Jong, author of the landmark "Fear of Flying" (10 million copies sold worldwide) and the "New York Times" bestselling memoir "Fear of Fifty" (700,000 copies sold worldwide) comes a stunning tour de force: a deeply personal novel that is both a meditation on the nature of memory and a tribute to the strides women have made in the 20th century. Narrated by Sarah, who in the year 2005 finds herself drawn into the tumultuous lives of her unconventional ancestors, "Inventing Memory" chronicles the lives of Sarah's forebears. She calls to memory her great-grandmother Sarah, propelled by a Russian pogrom to America in 1906; her grandmother Salome, who cavorted with Henry Miller in prewar Paris; and finally, her mother, Sally, a famous folk singer and emblem of the sixties. Through the paradoxical nature of memory Sarah comes to understand and impart her own story. "Inventing Memory" is the story of all women on the verge of the 21st century and recalls the saga of the 20th-century woman and her heroic struggle to be free. It is Erica Jong's most ambitious, complex, and satisfying novel yet.
"...heartfelt work..."
Kirkus, 05/01/1997
Review:"Like some strange particle of modern physics, the vulgarity of this novel extends in every direction simultaneously....Oddly enough, Jong who made her reputation as a woman liberated enough to speak freely and openly about women's experience of sex, writes erotic scenes that range from the banal to the laughable."
Richard Lourie, Washington Post Book World, 08/10/1997
