"Much of this is highly entertaining, and the sexuberantly anachronistic one-liners are sometimes wonderful..., sometimes effulgently absurd....Nevertheless: one of Jong's most enjoyable books."

Kirkus, 03/01/2003

"The author of the sexual-revolution classic FEAR OF FLYING has a reputation to uphold, and she rises to the occasion by imagining Sappho as an updated compilation of every Jongian heroine to date....Erica Jong's celebrity will never rest on her literary talents....But her effort to bring to life an ancient writer engrossed in politics, family and the creation of poetry is a relief from the relentlessly everyday sincerity of much current 'women-oriented' writing. If only she had confronted the real historical mystery of how Sappho made her way in the violent, male-dominated world of ancient Greece--such a novel would have done justice to the remarkable woman that Sappho obviously was."
