Most of Nora Ephron

A whopping big celebration of the work of the late, great Nora Ephron, America's funniest--and most acute--writer, famous for her brilliant takes on life as we've been living it these last forty years. Everything you could possibly want from Nora Ephron is here--from her writings on journalism, feminism, and being a woman (the notorious piece on being flat-chested, the clarion call of her commencement address at Wellesley) to her best-selling novel, "Heartburn, " written in the wake of her devastating divorce from Carl Bernstein; from her hilarious and touching screenplay for the movie "When Harry Met Sally . . . "("I'll have what she's having") to her recent play "Lucky Guy" (published here for the first time); from her ongoing love affair with food, recipes and all, to her extended takes on such controversial women as Lillian Hellman and Helen Gurley Brown; from her pithy blogs on politics to her moving meditations on aging ("I Feel Bad About My Neck") and dying. Her superb writing, her unforgettable movies, her honesty and fearlessness, her nonpareil humor have made Nora Ephron an icon for America's women--and not a few of its men.

Emma: "Nora is hilarious and very satisfying to read. She wrote everything: screenplays, essays, novels – and she was really good at all of it. I find that extremely inspiring. It's the kind of writer I'd like to be. I found the 'One Direction Test Your Super-Fan Status' book on a stoop in my neighborhood. It's has puzzles, quizzes, crosswords and more in it. I can read your horoscope if you like." #newyork

If you haven't read any of Nora Ephron's essay collections I highly recommend them all.

My #WCW is Nora Ephron. So based on my taste in pop culture, Nora Ephron shouldn't work for me. If someone just gave me a general description of her essay topics, I'd probably say 'oh that's nice' but internally say 'nope!'. I read I Feel Bad About My Neck and I Remember Nothing on a whim and absolutely loved both essay collections. I think it just comes down to enjoying her writing style. I love how her essays switch from wry to heartbreaking.

JanuarieTimewalker13 Loved her!! 8y
Zelma I need to give her another try in print. Listening to her on audio didn't work for me at all, but I know she is supposed to be fantastic. 8y
