Fear of Flying – November 4, 2003 Description
From Bookforum
For all of its class-bound preoccupations and the cramped horizons of its political vision,
Fear of Flying does remain an important document, of both the literature and the emerging gender protest of its age. Its greatest triumph is the depiction of a female psyche battling the forces of loneliness while still yearning for pleasure. It’s a brilliant portrayal of how differently women experience existentialism, romance, and solitude. —Natasha Vargas-Cooper
