Fear of Flying

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation

De: Erica Jong

Narrado por: Full Cast, Julianna Jennings, Kevin Shen, Max Bennett

The radio premiere of Erica Jong's uninhibited feminist classic about female sexuality.

Isadora Wing has been married to psycho-analyst Bennett for five years. But she has become restless and yearns for men, for solitude, and for the perfect, guiltless, ‘zipless f**k’.

Having overcome her fear of flying to travel to a conference in Vienna with Bennett, she meets a charming Englishman called Adrian Goodlove. Can he offer the sexual liberation and fulfilment she's always fantasised about?

First published in 1973, this bold and bawdy novel about a young woman's quest for sexual liberation was a controversial best-seller.

Warning: Contains strong language from the start.

Greatly abridged, loses a lot of context

The performance is fantastic. This would be best listened to after having read the entire book. Theres a lot of missing information on all the characters. Highly recommend the abridged book on audible.

Rivetingly new world

As a male in my early 50’s, I am learning more about female sexuality. I married late in life and pretty much playing catch up. This book was recommended and it delivered a profound insight. It’s never late to learn.

My favorite book I’ve read so far 😍!!

It was a great book had effect in th read out and the narrator as great

Terrible

Dislike the writing I could get into the lack of story line It was not for me but still tried and did not like it

It’s not the whole book. I don’t know why they said unabridged.

It’s not the whole book I have the book at home when I saw it was on audible I decided to listen to it first I thought why does it cut off here? I pick up the book and there’s a whole piece of it if it’s not in the Audible presentation, that’s not fair it’s a very significant feminist book. Please do it, right!
