The Most Of Nora Ephron
by Nora Ephron
Buy on AmazonA whopping big celebration of the work of the late, great Nora Ephron, America’s funniest—and most acute—writer, famous for her brilliant takes on life as we’ve been living it these last forty years. A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Century Everything you could possibly want from Nora Ephron is here—from her writings on journalism, feminism, and being a woman (the notorious piece on being flat-chested, the clarion call of her commencement address at Wellesley) to her best-selling novel, Heartburn, written in the wake of her devastating divorce from Carl Bernstein; from her hilarious and touching screenplay for the movie When Harry Met Sally . . .…

"Nora Ephron began her writing career as a cub reporter for The New York Post, and during her lifetime she was a journalist, essayist, novelist, screenwriter, playwright and, even briefly, a blogger. All these sides are on display in this volume, which contains the novel Heartburn and the script to her Broadway play *Lucky Guy, * as well as much more, including her brilliant early essays, which go back to way before she felt bad about her neck. Ephron, who died in 2012, is served well by this collection, which showcases her talent and range and — perhaps most of all — her voice."
