The 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.

Was nie im Trend lag, kommt auch niemals aus der Mode
"Ich bin ein Riesenfan, fast schon Ephronologin." Dolly Alderton Nora Ephron ist Kult und dies ist ihr Kultbuch: Darin schreibt sie darüber, was es bedeutet, eine moderne Frau zu sein, deckt Tücken und Freuden, Hürden, Probleme und Chancen auf, und die kleinen Details, die wir alle zu gut kennen – vom ideellen Wert einer Handtasche über Diskriminierungen im Job bis hin zu grenzenloser Liebe zu Essen und den ersten Falten: ehrlich, klug, witzig und keineswegs gradlinig romantisch. Nicht zuletzt sind Ephrons Geschichten eine große Liebeserklärung an ihre Wahlheimat New York City. Ein absolutes Muss für jede Frau jeden Alters!

In this classic collection of magazine articles, Ephron does what she does best: embrace American culture with love, cynicism, and unmatched wit. From tracking down the beginnings of the self-help movement to dressing down the fashion world’s most powerful publication to capturing a glimpse of a legendary movie in the making, these timeless pieces tap into our enduring obsessions with celebrity, food, romance, clothes, entertainment, and sex. Whether casting her ingenious eye on renowned director Mike Nichols, Cosmopolitan magazine founder Helen Gurley Brown—or herself, as she chronicles her own beauty makeover—Ephron deftly weaves her journalistic skill with the intimate style of an essayist and the incomparable talent of a great storyteller.

When Harry Met Sally. . .

"A winner, a lavishly romantic lark, brimming over with style, intelligence and flashing wit." —Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Written by Nora Ephron, author of screenplays for Silkwood and Heartburn (from her own bestselling novel)—When Harry Met Sally is as hilarious on the page as it is on the screen.

The Nora Ephron Bundle

release date: Nov 09, 2010
The Nora Ephron Bundle
The perfect holiday gift: a pair of hilarious books from the “wickedly witty and astute” Nora Ephron, a “crackling smart cultural scribe” (The Boston Globe) whose insights and observations have made her a heroine to women all over America. Critics and readers embraced the nationwide best seller I Feel Bad About My Neck—“Marvelous” (The Washington Post); “Sparkling” (Ladies’ Home Journal); “Delightful” (The New York Review of Books)—and applauded Ephron for “mak[ing] the truth about life so funny” (The Sunday Times, London). In I Remember Nothing the beloved humorist returns with more razor-sharp reflections on growing older in the twenty-first century, along with those stories from the past she hasn’t (yet) forgotten. I Feel Bad About My Neck and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice and dry sense of humor, Ephron shares with us her ups and downs in this wise, wonderful look at women of a certain age who are dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and everything in between. Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, a passionate city dweller, and a hapless parent. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about getting older. Utterly courageous, unexpectedly moving, and laugh-out-loud funny, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a scrumptious, irresistible treat of a book. I Remember Nothing and Other Reflections Ephron takes a cool, hard, hilarious look at the past, the present, and the future, writing about falling hard for a way of life (“Journalism: A Love Story”) and breaking up even harder with the men in her life (“The D Word”); revealing the alarming evolution, a decade after she wrote and directed You’ve Got Mail, of her relationship with her in-box (“The Six Stages of E-mail”); and asking the age-old question, which came first, the chicken soup or the cold? All the while, she gives voice to everything women have been thinking . . . but rarely acknowledging. Filled with insights and observations that instantly ring true—and could have come only from Nora Ephron—I Remember Nothing is pure joy. “[Ephron] retains an uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are . . . Some things don’t change. It’s good to know that Ms. Ephron’s wry, knowing X-ray vision is one of them.” —The New York Times “Nora Ephron has become timeless.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

Imaginary Friends

release date: Nov 25, 2009
Imaginary Friends
The bestselling author of I Feel Bad About My Neck brilliantly and hilariously resuscitates Lillian Hellman and Mary McCarthy—two bigger-than-life feuding writers—to give them a post-mortem second act, and the chance to really air their differences. Although Lillian Hellman and Mary McCarthy probably only met once in their lives, their names will be linked forever in the history of American literary feuds: they were legendary enemies, especially after McCarthy famously announced to the world that every word Hellman wrote was a lie, “including ‘and’ and ‘the.’” The public battle, and the legal squabbling, that ensued ended, unsatisfactorily for all, with Hellman’s death. “A sharp-eyed and even sharper-clawed memory-play.... Provides...guilty pleasures, keeping the repartee both snappy and snappish.” —The Wall Street Journal

I Feel Bad About My Neck

Crackling sharp ... Fireworks shoot out [of this collection].” —The Boston Globe With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice, and dry sense of humor, Nora Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless parent. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as an older woman. 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.

El coll no enganya
Una mirada sincera i hilarant sobre les dones madures Nora Ephron ha estat nominada tres vegades a l’Oscar pels guions de Quan en Harry va trobar la Sally, Silkwood i Alguna cosa per recordar El coll no enganya ha estat a la llista dels llibres més venuts del New York Times i s’ha venut a més de trenta països Un llibre hilarant sobre la maduresa femenina Lluny de l’imaginari masculí en què les dones només existeixen fins als trenta anys, a les dones de quaranta, i més, els segueix interessant la vida: l’amor, els cosmètics, la política, els fills, la feina, les ulleres de sol i les bifocals, els pisos i els secrets de la cuina més moderna... Amb un to despreocupat, personal i planer, i amb un sentit de l’humor agut i àcid, Nora Ephron aborda les tribulacions de la dona madura moderna (la menopausa, la casa sense els nens, els estralls físics del pas dels anys, els líftings...) i recorda els moments àlgids de la seva joventut (la descoberta d’alguns plats com el strudel de col, els primers amors, els seus glamorosos dies com a becària de la Casa Blanca, i que no es malinterpreti...) «No cal ser una novaiorquesa postmenopàusica amb un look liberal i uns ingressos acceptables per divertir- se amb la visió de la vida de Nora Ephron» (Kirkus Review). «Tots els llibres que he llegit sobre l’edat diuen que fer-se gran és magnífic. El que és magnífic és madurar, tenir seny i ser savi, i trobar-se en aquell punt en què entens de què va la vida. No suporto la gent que diu aquesta mena de coses. En què pensen? És que no tenen coll?» (El coll no enganya i altres reflexions sobre ser dona). Traducció de Mar Albacar Nora Ephron Va néixer l’any 1941 a Nova York i es va educar a Los Angeles. És columnista, novel·lista i guionista. Va començar la seva carrera periodística al New York Post, i ha escrit al The New York Times i a les revistes Esquire i New York, entre d’altres.
