Erica Jong speaks a few words of German and did not translate the German edition of Fear of Flying herself.

[edit] The Daou

I removed this - "Having a family relation with Peter Daou of The Daou, it is interesting to note that their most notable album was called Zipless (named after the Zipless fuck talked about in Jong's novel)." Badly written.. seems like ajoke. Anyone verify these? -- max rspct leave a message 10:16, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chronology

If her birth date is indeed March 26, 1948, she was 15 when she graduated from Barnard in 1963 and at 18 was already married to Allan Jong, her second husband. Moreover, she was only 46 when she published "Fear of Fifty." Pardon me for distrusting the accuracy of the birth date.

Btw, was her birth name "Erica Mann" or "Erica Weisman"? The first sentence says both. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ccerf (talk • contribs) 15:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
