Product Information

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. Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless parent. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as a woman of a certain age. 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.

Reviews
"Nora Ephron, 65 years old in I Feel Bad About My Neck , pokes fun at her own eccentricities and finds herself writing about 'lunch with my girlfriendsI got that far into the sentence and caught myself. I suppose I mean my women friends. We are no longer girls and have not been for forty years.' But [ I Feel Bad About My Neck is a] girlfriend book, and in the best way. . . . Ephron, who is a great wit, has made a career out of women's body anxieties. The magazine piece that made her famous in the 1970s, 'A Few Words about Breasts,' is a long kvetch about her flat chest . . . Now, though, Ephron kvetches about her wrinkled neck, the one part of a woman's aging body that can't be resurfaced. She and the ladies who lunch with her all wear scarves or turtlenecks to hide their 'shame.' . . . Ephron [is] unfailingly clever and often pokes fun at our preoccupations while sharing them. . . . I Feel Bad About My Neck has everything I want in an entertaining read: a breezy pace, wry musings, copious doses of gossip, humor, and new information. . . . Ephron produces perfect vignettes. . . . [When I finished I Feel Bad About My Neck , I] felt the 'rapture' that Ephron says you feel on completing a great book. . . . [Books] have always been faithful pals, and [this one is] among the best. . . . [Get] your friends of a certain age together, rent Silkwood (which I think is Ephron's best film), read [her book] together, and argue and laugh and cry. That's my prescription." Emily Toth, Women's Review of Books "The subtitle to this book of autobiographical essays by the pithy, witty Ephron'and other thoughts on being a woman'says it all. Chapters include brilliant, biting essays on such things as wrinkly necks, bad handbags, and being a parent. You'll laugh out loud at her spot-on observations, but there's something wonderfully poignant about Ephron's list of things worth knowing, and how to live out one's life feeling satisfied. A heartwarming little book." Easy Living magazine (UK) "What's refreshing about Ephron is that she refuses to entertain any illusions about the terrible fate that awaits us. What's great about her is that she makes the truth about life so funny when it should be so grim." Christopher Goodwin, The Sunday Times (UK) "Ephron's laugh-out-loud collection tells the truth about agingit's not funand 'she does it with humor and satire and perspective,' says [Roxanne Coady of R. J. Julia Booksellers in Madison, Conn.]. With blithe charm, Ephron exposes all the vain ploys that sheand wewould rather not admit we use to stave off another telltale wrinkle or gray hair. Read her book as an antidote to despair." U.S. News & World Report "Now 65, the humorist offers a bracing take on aging in 15 memorable essays. Her finely honed wit is as fresh as ever." People magazine, Top 10 Books of 2006 "As if wrinkles and belly flab weren't enough, women of a certain age have to fret about their turkey necks, tooso says the sage, dry, and hilarious Nora Ephron . . . Her droll take on traditionally gooey topics like motherhood and marriage makes the tender observations that much more unexpected . . . [A] sparkling series of essays." Ladies Home Journal "Delightful . . . [A] funny, sisterly collection . . . Where books written for seniors are apt to be full of unconvincing cheer, Ephron's charming book of self-questioning, confession, and resolve faces the reality that she's sixty-five, dyes her hair, and is not happy about her neck, her purse, her failure at ambitious e, "Nora Ephron, 65 years old inI Feel Bad About My Neck, pokes fun at her own eccentricities and finds herself writing about 'lunch with my girlfriendsI got that far into the sentence and caught myself.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Great book - read by the author - the late Nora Ephron

    I'd read the book when it first came out, but knew that it was available as an audio book - read by the author. She did a splendid job of reading her own words (another one of her last books "I Remember Nothing" is even better). The CDs were in great condition, and the shipper sent the set out quickly and well packaged. No complaints.

  • 99% of women over 40 can relate to the material, though not the delivery.

    Clever premise with universally relatable topics informed by the authors Manhattan style and sensibility. I do not travel in the same circles as Ephron, but I did feel a certain kinship with her as a fellow traveler on the journey from young, ambitious young women to self-aware, mature women. I enjoyed the material, but Ephron lacks the sort of sparkle or intonation in her voice that could really bring out the humor in this audiobook; instead, the author comes off as an irritated snob.

  • Sex in the City froma Near Sexagenarian

    Nora Ephron's I Feel Bad About My Neck is definitely a trip through the wry. The book opens with the title essay about aging and concludes with a rumination about death called "Considering the Alternative." Packed between are essays about books treasured along the way, thoughts on bodily upkeep, the stages of parenting, a timeline of beloved cookbooks, cabbage strudel, her love affair with an apartment and "The Story of My Life in 3,500 Words or Less." The book is a quilt fashioned from swatches of a life graced with privilege, which can make empathizing with Ephron a bit difficult, at times. We all end up too aware of our body's deterioration, but we don't all have our hair done twice a week or have our unwanted facial fuzz "threaded" by a woman who uses "a fantastic and thrilling ...

  • Never received it!!!!!!

    I waited two weeks for this and reported it missing. Finally I was told it was "lost in the mail" and there were no more in stock. Hopefully I am being credited for the amount.
