Portnoy’s Complaint | Fear Of Flying |
Portonoy’s Complaint and Fear of Flying are both excellent novels for mature readers. Just a warning: They contain some explicit sexual descriptions. I my context this has never been a problem, but students should know that before deciding to read the books. | |
