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.
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. Oh, and she can’t stand the way her neck
looks. But her dermatologist tells her there’s no quick
fix for that.
Ephron chronicles her life as an
obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless
parent. She recounts her anything-but-glamorous days
as a White House intern during the JFK years (“I am probably
the only young woman who ever worked in the Kennedy White
House that the President did not make a pass at”) and shares
how she fell in and out of love with Bill Clinton—from a
distance, of course. But mostly she speaks frankly and
uproariously about life as a woman of a certain
age.
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.
