Book description
'A woman for all seasons, tender and tough in just the right proportions'
The New York Times
Two classic collections of uproarious essays from the late Nora
Ephron,
bestselling author of I Feel Bad About My Neck and I
Remember Nothing. Here she tackles everything from feminism to
the media, from politics to beauty products, with her inimitable
charm and distinctive wit.
From her Academy Award-nominated screenplays (When Harry
Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, Julie & Julia) to her
bestselling fiction and essays, Nora Ephron, who died earlier this
year, illuminated her era with wicked honesty and insight.
This collection brings together some of Ephron's most famous writing
on a generation of women (and men) who helped shape the way we live
now, and on significant modern-day events. In these sharp, hilariously
entertaining and vividly observed essays, from the famous 'A Few Words
About Breasts' to important pieces on her time working for newspapers
and magazines, this is Ephron at her very best.
Nora Ephron was an Academy Award-winning screenwriter and film
director of When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail
and Bewitched. She was also a bestselling novelist (Heartburn, made into
a film starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep), journalist and
essayist (Crazy Salad).
