Synopsis "The Most of Nora Ephron "

A 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. 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 . . . (“I’ll have what she’s having”) to her recent play Lucky Guy (published here for the first time); from her ongoing love affair with food, recipes and all, to her extended takes on such controversial women as Lillian Hellman and Helen Gurley Brown; from her pithy blogs on politics to her moving meditations on aging (“I Feel Bad About My Neck”) and dying. Her superb writing, her unforgettable movies, her honesty and fearlessness, her nonpareil humor have made Nora Ephron an icon for America’s women—and not a few of its men.

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.
