Any Woman's Blues — Erica Jong

WITH HER GROUNDBREAKING BESTSELLER FEAR OF FLYING, ERICA JONG TAUGHT US HOW TO FLY. NOW, WITH ANY WOMAN'S BLUES, SHE SHOWS US HOW TO LAND.

Leila Sand, artist, mother, and world-class celebrity, is a true woman of her times. She came of age in the sixties and seventies as she sought escape and release in drugs, love affairs, fine wine, world travel -- even marriage and motherhood. Now Leila is addicted to a younger man who sends her into an orgasmic frenzy leaves her feeling empty, betrayed, and worthless.

Leila's efforts to free herself result in a sensual and spiritual odyssey that takes her from Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to violent performance art in pitch-black East Village nightclub, from glittering parties with SoHo celebrities: painters, art dealers, drug addicts, and "debutramps" to a liaison with a
antique merchant. Along the way, she learns the rules of love and the secret of happiness.
