The Most of Nora Ephron

Meer over het boek

This is a comprehensive anthology of Nora Ephron at her funniest and most acute. Here are her writings on journalism, feminism, and being a woman; on the importance of food (with favourite recipes), and on the bittersweet reality of growing old. This collection includes extracts from her bestselling novel Heartburn, written in the wake of her devastating divorce from Carl Bernstein, and from her hilarious screenplay for the movie 'When Harry met Sally', as well as the complete text of her recent play 'Lucky guy', published here for the first time. There are many personal pieces of memoir, as well as her sharp assessments of such controversial women as Lillian Hellman and Helen Gurley Brown.
