Mrs Guilt

Erica Jong on her best known novel, Fear of Flying:
'If you read it carefully, it really doesn't recommend adultery,' Jong clarifies. 'I mean, that's the rap that the book has gotten, but it's really not fair. First of all, Isadora is so guilt-ridden - except in her fantasy life - that she's hardly a model of sex without guilt. She's Mrs Guilt.'
