Now introducing Craigslist of the Young and Restless, featuring the classified needs, desires, and no-fee-sublets of the Ivy League. We always assumed Brown was the horniest Ivy, whatwith SexPowerGod and all that free-loving, unshaved hippie-crotch stuff. But Cornell — repressed frat boy of the Ivy League — is on the verge of claiming Brown’s Horndog Crown [...]

Diane English, who directed The Women , is setting her sights on a film adaptation of Erica Jong's Fear of Flying . This cannot be a good idea . English is going to handle the period-piece 1970s thing in her own, classy way: English revealed that her version of the film will take place in modern times, with an older character utilized as a framing device to tell a flashback story. Maybe English will...

It's YEARS since I read Erica Jong's Fear of Flying and I actually thought there already was a film, but apparently not. Diane English, who adapted the forthcoming film The Women (which, I'm sorry, looks TERRIBLE), is working on it....

No, we're NOT going to cover Erica Jong's saucy novel from 1973 (Though that might make a good late evening discussion sometime!) b ut rather the actual fear of flying! You see I am a nervous traveller when it comes to air travel and I was curious if I am alone in this? I hate every aspect of flight apart from the descent and landing. I always sit at the window so I can look out and look for what might...

Remember back in April when Matt Taibbi and Erica Jong had that little spat over his reference to Hillary 's "flabby arms." Well over at HuffPo , in the course of a conversation about his new book " The Great Derangement ," Taibbi is reflecting a bit on the exchange: It's funny, I had somebody, one of my friends said to me, "You're lucky the person who attacked you for being a sexist was such an idiot!...

ERICA JONG’S WORDS ‘ARABS AND OTHER ANIMALS’ AS A DISTANT PRELUDE TO IRAQ WAR You think of 1973 and recall two big items namely the ‘73 oil shock and then the Yom Kippur War. In 1973 there also appeared the “porno-sophical” novel, “Fear of Flying” which [...]

We have spilled oceans of ink, cut down forests of trees, blazed through the internet in light, and the world is still dominated by the sex-bearing appendages rather than clefts. Why? That is the subject for a future book. But I can say that the hope I felt in 1968 has evaporated. Last week, a woman commentator on a supposedly progressive network called Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro "whores"....

When we last left Rolling Stone 's political correspondent, Matt Taibbi , he was taking a break from the never-ending primary season. Since then, he's feuded with Erica Jong , of all people and received his first National Magazine Award nomination in the Columns and Commentary category. We caught up with him recently to ask whether it's even possible to be more vitriolic than fellow nominee (and defending...

She's looking at you, Matt. Or, she would be, if we could find a picture of you anywhere. Photo: FilmMagic One of the blessings of an unpaid-content site with many contributors like the Huffington Post is that its writers often stridently disagree with one another. There are political debates, humorous riffs, and, occasionally (like today), nasty fights. This little scuffle began yesterday when writer...

After participating in a conference on Erica Jong's book "Fear of Flying," Rebecca Traister reflects on her own feminist library. "When I hear the term 'feminist classic,' I think of Virginia Woolf and Kate Chopin, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Adrienne Rich. But the truth is, those are writers I didn't necessarily come to until college, when I was already looking at them through a women's studies lens."...

You wanna know something really subversive? Love really is all it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, worth risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. ~Erica Jong … Oh, yes, it's easy to speak of love in [...]

Erica Jong, a largely spent 70’s novelist and feminist, made Drudge Report recently with her Huffington Post blog essay “Who’s Tired of Pink?,“ a frantic attack on all thinks white and male. “Pink” is apparently the Left's new term for disparaging whites. Good luck with that, Erica; it has all the devastation of “honky” or “cracker.” But the “pink” term is not the problem with Jong‘s tirade. The problem...
