You are always on your way, never there. People are constantly asking, \"How did you do it?\" After a while you start to ask yourself. This book is an attempt to answer that question--regrets, mistakes, divorces, lawsuits and all.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErica Jong\u003c\/b\u003e grew up on Manhattan's Upper West Side and attended Barnard College, where she majored in writing and literature, and she later received her MA in eighteenth-century English literature from Columbia University.
