...more extravagant admirers, who tend to be women, consider Erica Jong a female Roth, Vonnegut and Mailer combined. Her first novel, Fear of Flying, had a brisk hardback sale after it was published late in 1973 and since its appearance in paperback last November, a rapid rise to No. 1 on the bestseller charts. At Houston's Rice University it is used in an English course and at Radcliffe, the Atlanta Y.W.C.A. Women's Center and elsewhere as the subject of discussion in consciousness-raising groups.

...victim after he has wobbled him. (1), (2), (3), (a), (b), (c)-he smothers his foe with Q.E.D. exercises in logic and item upon item of proof. As he closes in for the kill, Macdonald may mimic the cries of the wounded. He offers spot-on parodies of Norman Mailer, Wolfe and circa 1938 TIME-"celebrated last month by potent Newsmagazine TIME, its fifteenth birthday." If the subject is still twitching, he finishes him off with a footnote...
