Erica Jong gave an interview to an Italian publication that talks about her fears if Obama is not elected as U.S. president. The feminist author gave an interview to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, and she was excerpted by Camillo blog writer Christian Rocca, the U.S. correspondent of Il Foglio. Here's a translation of some of Jong's interview with Milan-based Corriere, as selected by Rocca. "The record shows that voting machines in America are rigged." "My friends Ken Follett and Susan Cheever are extremely worried. Naomi Wolf calls me every day. Yesterday, Jane Fonda sent me an email to tell me that she cried all night and can't cure her ailing back for all the stress that has reduces her to a bundle of nerves." "My back is also suffering from spasms, so much so that I had to see an acupuncturist and get prescriptions for Valium." "After having stolen the last two elections, the Republican Mafia…" "If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me. And it's not a coincidence that President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead against American citizens in the streets." "Bush has transformed America into a police state, from torture to the imprisonment of reporters, to the Patriot Act." Jong noted in the interview that not all of America's prominent male writers are pro Obama. "Tom Wolfe and John Updike are men of the right and Philip Roth is at this point a hermit who leads a monastic life in Connecticut, far from everything and everybody." Luckily, she said there is her and Michael Chabon, who, she says, have "taken the place of Susan Sontag and Norman Mailer respectively." They have the same political sensibilities, she said, but a better "sense of humor."
