Seducing the Demon

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.
