Nora Ephron: I feel bad about my neck, Doubleday, 9780857526939, paperback

(German Edition:  Was nie im Trend lag, kommt niemals aus der Mode … Atlantik Verlag, gebunden)


 I have been re-reading my old edition of “I feel bad about my neck” by the wonderful Nora Ephron who died in 2012.  What a witty, laugh out loud hilarious look about the problems females face (particularly in New York) or create for themselves. 

Her writing is so sharp and funny, be it about “Maintenance” – she literally boils it down to hair, skin or other parts  of the body , or what it means to find the perfect apartment in New York or what she wished she had known which is a fabulous piece in its to the point  straight forwardness and humor.  She was truly brilliant; I just love her writing and sense of humor. I urge you to get a copy and have some good laughs while enjoying her sharp intelligence.
