Fear of death

The fear of death proves the firm position of Erika Young. - The Globe and Mail (Canada) I have gained my admiration for Young honestly, her sense of humor, and her passion... She is a writer who still has much to say. - The Guardian (Britain) Young flashes, moves gracefully, and is very funny in addition to being intelligent and wise... She has created a voice in narration that is intimate and extraordinarily direct, to the point that one almost forgets that this skillful and confident performance is a literary work. Young is a beacon illuminating many generations of readers, and her first novel after more than a decade promises much excitement. - Booklist (starred review) From the beginning, Young plunged into the forefront, leading the post-World War II generation to where they fear to tread... Even in her seventies, Young remains the reckless adventurer, the lustful one, whom cowards of the world can pee on, but she does not intend to let this stop her. - The Atlantic Erika Young's book The Fear of Death challenges the decline of sex. - The New York Times Young's writing style is cunning and captivating, stacking complex topics into a story that will make readers laugh and think. - RT - Book Reviews (four stars) The novel The Fear of Death supports Young's classic novel The Fear of Flying. In this daring, sexually provocative, and lightly wise novel, Young explores some deep truths about aging, family, love, and marriage after sixty. This novel is a wonderful blend, enjoyable to read, combining entertainment and wisdom. I loved it! - Susan Cheever, author of the bestseller "The Return Home Before Dark."
