In Inventing Memory, Jong comes through on all counts.
Memory is an astonishing achievement.
Here is the Jewish story that joins the other stories, the Latino story, the Italian story, the Irish story, the Asian story, the Afro-American story to form the chorus of the many voices that are singing and enriching America. Ms. Jong's writing sparkles with wit and intelligence all the way. No one mixes this potent cocktail with greater glee than Erica Jong. . .Juicy.
