Molly Jong-Fast has emerged as an outstanding writer and commentator. Her mother Erica Jong, is the pioneering author of Fear of Flying, the mega-best seller that spoke to a generation of women and men and, among other things, spawned the phrase "zipless f**k".



Now Molly has written  How to Lose Your Mother, a memoir that is both raw and tender—and also mesmerizing—but not before earning her bona fides as a journalist . She is a political analyst at MSNBC, the host of a podcast called Fast Politics with Molly Jong-Fast and other works, including a witty New York Times op-ed about why we should not wish for another Gilded Age even as we enjoy the popular HBO series.
