Fear of Dying

by Erica Jong
RM41.00 MYR
Fear of Dying
Fear of Dying

Intimate exploration of aging, sexuality, and fear.

"Fear of Dying" might resonate with you if you've ever contemplated the intricate dance between life's desires and the undeniable progression of age. Erica Jong does not shy away from the complexities that define our later years, and her unapologetic honesty provides a raw yet heartfelt perspective that can be both liberating and comforting. It's a journey through self-reflection, brimming with the kind of truths that often go unsaid.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The new novel from the author of the iconic international bestseller Fear of Flying. Four decades ago, Erica Jong changed the way we looked at love, marriage, and especially sex in her revolutionary bestseller, Fear of Flying. Now she mixes her trademark sharp, clever prose with poetic poignancy to bring us the story of a woman who never wants to give in to fear. Vanessa Wonderman is a former actress in her 60s who finds herself balancing between her dying parents, her aging husband, and her beloved, pregnant daughter. Although Vanessa considers herself 'a happily married woman', the lack of sex in her life makes her feel as if she's losing something too valuable to ignore. So she places an ad for sex on a site called Zipless.com and the life she knew begins to unravel. With the help and counsel of her best friend, Isadora Wing, Vanessa weeds out the lovers from the losers and liars, and starts to question if what she's looking for might be close at hand after all. Hilarious and heart-wrenching, Fear of Dying is a daring and delightful look at what it really takes to be human and female in the 21st century.
