Originally published in 1973, the groundbreaking, uninhibited story of Isadora Wing and her desire to fly free caused a national sensation. In "The New York Times," Henry Miller compared it to his own classic, "Tropic of Cancer" and predicted that "this book will make literary history..." It has sold more than twelve million copies. Now, after thirty years, the revolutionary novel known as "Fear of Flying" still stands as a timeless tale of self-discovery, liberation, and womanhood.… (mer)
En kultbok som håller även efter snart 40 år. Isadora Wing letar efter sig själv och ser tillbaka på sina två äktenskap och en häftig förälskelse som för henne från Wien till London. Samma tankar idag som igår. Unga kvinnor med dålig självbild igår och idag. ( )

Bigamy is having one husband too many. Monogamy is the same. —Anonymous (a woman)
Alas! The love of women! It is known To be a lovely and a fearful thing; For all of theirs upon that die is thrown, And if 'tis lost, life hath no more to bring To them but mockeries of the past alone, And their revenge is as the tiger's spring, Deadly, and quick, and crushing; yet, as real Torture is theirs — what they inflict they feel.
They are right; for man, to man so oft unjust, is always so to women; one sole bond Awaits them — treachery is all their trust; Taught to conceal, their bursting hearts despond Over their idol, till some wealthier lust Buys them in marriage — and what rests beyond? A thankless husband — next, a faithless lover — Then dressing, nursing, praying — and all's over.
Some take a lover, some take drams or prayers, Some mind their household, others dissipation, Some run away, and but exchange their cares, Losing the advantage of a virtuous station; Few changes e'er can better their affairs, Theirs being an unnatural situation, From the dull palace to the dirty hovel : Some play the devil, and then write a novel. — Lord Byron (from Don Juan)
