Life happened because I turned the pages~~Alberto Manguel

Friday, May 16, 2003

Thirty years and six other novels after she wrote Fear of Flying, Erica Jong is tired of being treated as a one-book author. "I've written so many other books, so many kinds of books since then...I wish someone would notice," she tells the Philadelphia Inquirer. She's a victim of Faux One Book Wonder Syndrome. It afflicts authors like Joseph Heller (he wrote several others, but everyone remembers Catch-22) and Ken Kesey (there was actually life after One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but few noticed.)
