First Edition of Salman Rushdie's East, West; Inscribed by Him to Fellow Novelist Erica Jong
RUSHDIE, SALMAN [ERICA JONG].
East, West.
London: Jonathan Cape 1994.
First edition of this work by the Booker Prize-winning author. Octavo, original cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, “For Erica with love Salman Rushdie 5 Sep 94.” The recipient, Erica Jong remains best known for her 1973 novel Fear of Flying which became famously controversial for its portrayal of female sexuality and figured prominently in the development of second-wave feminism. Written in the first person and narrated by its protagonist, 29-year-old American poet Isadora Wing, Fear of Flying was written in the throes of the Sexual Revolution of the 1970s and encapsulated the movement’s redefinition of female sexuality. In interviews, Jong stated: “At the time I wrote Fear of Flying, there was not a book that said women are romantic, women are intellectual, women are sexual—and brought all those things together… What [Isadora is] looking for is how to be a whole human being, a body and a mind, and that is what women were newly aware they needed in 1973.” The novel remains a feminist classic and has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. From the library of Erica Jong and Ken Burrows. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket illustration by Chris Corr. Jacket design by Peter Dyer. Author photograph by Monika Zucht.
