Critics called it everything from \"brutally funny,\" \"risqué and wonderfully unrepentant,\" \"rowdy, self-deprecating, and endearing\" to \"car wreck.\" \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough her own experiences, Jong shares her triumphs and tribulations, embracing the complexity of womanhood and defying societal expectations.

My life was not typical. But no writer's life is typical. By its very nature, writing is unique to every writer. Practicing writing is like practicing freedom. You are always on your way, never there. People are constantly asking, \"How did you do it?\" After a while you start to ask yourself. This book is an attempt to answer that question--regrets, mistakes, divorces, lawsuits and all.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tarcher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781585425143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.56w x 0.82d","brand":"Erica Jong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52051663225013,"sku":"9781585425143","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5483ec87-b709-4275-9eed-78d65c0ff1d1.jpg?v=1764047585","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/seducing-the-demon-writing-for-my-life-9781585425143","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
