“Wickedly witty. . . . Crackling sharp. . . . Fireworks shoot out [of this collection].” —The Boston Globe“Long-overdue. . . . Executed with sharpness and panache . . . . [Nora Ephron] retains an uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are. . . . It's good to know that Ms. Ephron's wry, knowing X-ray vision is one of them.” —The New York Times“Women who find themselves somewhere between the arrival of their first wrinkle and death have to hear only the title to get the message.”—Los Angeles Times“Wry and amusing. . . . Marvelous.” —The Washington Post Book World Nora Ephron was the author of the bestselling I Feel Bad About My Neck as well as Heartburn, Crazy Salad, Wallflower at the Orgy, and Scribble Scribble. She wrote and directed the hit movie Julie & Julia and received Academy Award nominations for Best Original Screenplay for When Harry Met Sally. . ., Silkwood, and Sleepless in Seattle, which she also directed. Her other credits include the script for the stage hit Love, Loss, and What I Wore with Delia Ephron. She died in 2012.
With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice, and dry sense of humor, Nora Ephron shares with us her ups and downs in I Feel Bad About My Neck, a candid, hilarious look at women who are getting older and dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself.
Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless parent. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as a woman of a certain age. Utterly courageous, uproariously funny, and unexpectedly moving in its truth telling, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a scrumptious, irresistible treat of a book, full of truths, laugh out loud moments that will appeal to readers of all ages.
Nora is always a good read I thought I was the only woman who obsessed about the wrinkles on her neck. Nora Ephron is always entertaining. I love her humor when it comes to woman aging. Its a great read, especially when you start feeling a little depressed about getting older. It's like having a really good friend tell you that its all going to be okay--you're not alone. Curl up with this book and a bottle of your favorite wine. You'll laugh and feel better about yourself.Simply Wonderful Ephron nails it in a way that makes me laugh. Growing old is "not for sissies" as an old actor once said. Ephron tells all, the sad, the embarrassing, and the hilarious, with wisdom and expertise. One wonderful plus (a lagniappe, as the Cajuns call it) is a chapter which describes her favorite books. I'm working my way through her list. Ephron's personal insight into her own condition as well as the human condition, imbues every page. When I read, at the very end of the Kindle version, that she passed away many years ago, I grieved.I recently saw the excellent HBO documentary Nora Ephron's son made in the quest ... I recently saw the excellent HBO documentary Nora Ephron's son made in the quest to know his late mother better and I became intrigued by the person behind the movies. She's such a dynamic person but her writing is very modest - she never lets on she has been so incredibly successful. A different type of Erma Bombeck who was my mentor in the early years of my marriage and child rearing. I highly recommend the book...if I hadn't gotten anything from the book (and I got lots) I'd joke and say at least she's saved me a lot of money as I will not be buying the latest anti-aging cream in a futile attempt to turn back the clock. She made it very clear that this whole idea is a pipe dream...and she said it with such wonderful wit.
