I Feel Bad About My Neck, And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman by Nora Ephron

I'm still listening to 'I Feel Bad About My Neck.' It took me a little while to get used to Nora Ephron's narration of her own work. Utterly courageous, wickedly funny, and unexpectedly moving in its truth telling, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a book of wisdom, advice, and laugh-out-loud moments, a scrumptious, irresistible treat. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as a woman of a certain age.

She recounts her anything-but-glamorous days as a White House intern during the JFK years and shares how she fell in and out of love with Bill om a distance, of course. But her dermatologist tells her there's no quick fix for that.Įphron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless parent. Oh, and she can't stand the way her neck looks. The woman who brought us When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, and Bewitched, and the author of best sellers Heartburn, Scribble Scribble, and Crazy Salad, discusses everything, from how much she hates her purse to how much time she spends attempting to stop the clock: the hair dye, the treadmill, the lotions and creams that promise to slow the aging process but never do. 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.
