Seducing the Demon: Writing for My Life
Autor Erica Jongen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2007 – vârsta de la 18 ani
Erica Jong's memoir-a national bestseller-was probably the most wildly reviewed book of 2006. Critics called it everything from "brutally funny," "risqu? and wonderfully unrepentant," and "rowdy, self-deprecating, and endearing" to "a car wreck."* Throughout her book tour, Jong was unflappably funny, and responded to her critics with a hilarious essay on NPR's All Things Considered, which is included in this paperback edition. In addition to prominent review and feature coverage, Jong was a guest on Today and Real Time with Bill Maher. Even Rush Limbaugh flirted with Jong on his radio program: "I think she wants me. I think she's fantasizing about me." Love her, hate her, Jong still knows how to seduce the country and, most important, keep the pages turning.

Descriere
This sublime and salacious story of one writer's long and successful career as a poet, novelist, and feminist provocateur is refreshingly direct--whether she is writing sex scenes or conforming to the rigid narrative of Alcoholics Anonymous.
