Nora Ephron returns with her first book since the
astounding success of I Feel Bad About My Neck,
taking a cool, hard, hilarious look at the past, the
present, and the future, bemoaning the vicissitudes of
modern life, and recalling with her signature clarity and
wisdom everything she hasnβt (yet) forgotten.
Ephron
writes about falling hard for a way of life (βJournalism: A
Love Storyβ) and about breaking up even harder with the men
in her life (βThe D Wordβ); lists βTwenty-five Things People
Have a Shocking Capacity to Be Surprised by Over and Over
Againβ (βThere is no explaining the stock market but people
tryβ; βYou can never know the truth of anyoneβs marriage,
including your ownβ; βCary Grant was Jewishβ; βMen cheatβ);
reveals the alarming evolution, a decade after she wrote and
directed Youβve Got Mail, of her relationship with
her in-box (βThe Six Stages of E-Mailβ); and asks the
age-old question, which came first, the chicken soup or the
cold? All the while, she gives candid, edgy voice to
everything women who have reached a certain age have been
thinking . . . but rarely acknowledging.
Filled with
insights and observations that instantly ring trueβand could
have come only from Nora EphronβI Remember Nothing is
pure joy.
