How to Save Your Own Life (1977) by Erica Jong (Secker & Warburg) Sold by Crappy Old Books Divorced, liberated, and thoroughly disillusioned, Isadora Wing is back?and this time, she?s unfiltered, unapologetic, and just barely holding it together. In this raucous sequel to Fear of Flying , Erica Jong dives headfirst into the chaos of 1970s America: fame, film stars, feminism, and fleeting flings on both coasts. It?s messy. It?s loud. It?s got more emotional turbulence than a mid-life crisis on acid. And somehow, it?s still profound. This edition comes with all the wear and tear you?d expect from a book that?s been dropped, dog-eared, and possibly judged by every boyfriend you?ve ever had. Perfect for fans of brutally honest women and the literary equivalent of a long, soul-searching scream into the void. Buy it. Save yourself. Or at least laugh while trying. Very good condition hardback with dust jacket. First edition.
