German
Erica Jong speaks a few words of German and did not translate the German edition of Fear of Flying herself.
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)
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)
- I removed the Weisman sentence. I think that was her father's birth surname (as noted later in the article), but not hers. Ariadne55 (talk) 00:17, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
1. Weigth given to first book/2. Racism/sexism?
1. Her first book is given disproportionate weight in the article, which otherwise is rather uninformative wrt to her career and possible other accomplishments.
2. I visited this article after repeatedly coming across allegations that she had made sexist or racist statements. If that is so, it would be beneficial with some information in this area. See, among others, http://equalbutdifferent.blogspot.com/2008/02/erica-jong-hillary-and-patriarchy.html (Note that I am not saying "that", but came here to inquiry "whether", this is true.) 94.220.243.191 (talk) 09:35, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- Hi 94.220.243.191. Thank you for your inquiry! Can you find the allegations, or reports about such allegations, in reliable sources (follow this link for explanation)? If yes, we could include such reports (as well as reports from reliable sources that would contradict/support them, if such reports exist). If they are not mentioned in a reliable source, we are not able to include any statement that the reports have been made or whether they are true or not. I'm not familiar with Erica Jong's books, so someone else should comment on that issue. Cs32en 10:59, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
