Synopsis "Imaginary Friends (Vintage Originals) "

The bestselling author of I Feel Bad About My Neck brilliantly and hilariously resuscitates Lillian Hellman and Mary McCarthy--two bigger-than-life feuding writers--to give them a post-mortem second act, and the chance to really air their differences. Although Lillian Hellman and Mary McCarthy probably only met once in their lives, their names will be linked forever in the history of American literary feuds: they were legendary enemies, especially after McCarthy famously announced to the world that every word Hellman wrote was a lie, "including 'and' and 'the.'" The public battle, and the legal squabbling, that ensued ended, unsatisfactorily for all, with Hellman's death. "A sharp-eyed and even sharper-clawed memory-play.... Provides...guilty pleasures, keeping the repartee both snappy and snappish." --The Wall Street Journal

Nora Ephron (New York, 1941-2012) was a writer, producer, screenwriter, and film director. Ephron began her professional career writing for newspapers and magazines. With Crazy Salad (1975) she achieved a resounding critical success, which can be summarized in Patrick Owens' comment: «An absolutely sensational book.» An infidelity by her first husband, Carl Bernstein, one of the journalists who uncovered the Watergate scandal plot, inspired her novel Heartburn, which was later adapted into a film of the same name directed by Mike Nichols and starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. Both books have been published by Anagrama. She wrote the screenplay for When Harry Met Sally, and directed films such as Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, Hanging Up, Bewitched, and Julie & Julia. Two years before her death, her last book, I Remember Nothing, was translated into Spanish and Catalan in 2022.
