Erica Jong recalled that Paul Theroux, while reviewing her novel "Fear
of Flying," referred to her as a "mammoth pudenda." (Actually he was
referring to the novel's main character.) She replied: "Since Mr.
Theroux has no personal acquaintance with the organ in question, I
cannot help but wonder whether some anxieties about his own anatomy
were at the root (as it were) of his review."
