#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A candid, hilarious look at women of a certain age and dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself.

"Wickedly witty ... Crackling sharp ... Fireworks shoot out [of this collection]." --The Boston Globe

With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice, and dry sense of humor, Nora Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless parent. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as an older woman. 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.

"Women who find themselves somewhere between the arrival of their first wrinkle and death have to hear only the title to get the message." --Los Angeles Times

"Wry and amusing.... Marvelous." --The Washington Post Book World

    Nora Ephron's musings on what it feels like to age as a woman were as insightful as they were touchingly sad. Do I feel happier about ageing..no, of course not. But Nora's reflections did give me comfort we are all the same. Now...to the bath oil shop!

    5.0 out of 5 stars I feel bad about mine, too... but now better after this book
    Reviewed in the United States on 31 July 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Cookbooks and sex, necks and purses, aging and eyesight and aging eyesight... a range of topics about everyday living discussed in such witty, straightforward prose you'd think Nora Ephron was sitting across the dining room table from you, dipping biscotti into her coffee and chatting.

    It's the kind of book that takes your head and points it at something and says, "See that? Don't you see that? Well, then listen while I explain it to you." Then you'll see it and think, "Gosh, why didn't I see that before?"

    Other essays in the book will poke you in the ribs and say, "See? And you thought you were the only one who thought that way about friendship and marriage and life in general!"

    The hardest thing about writing a review about a book by a writer as fantastic as Nora Ephron is trying not to sound like an idiot while giving the book the praise it deserves. Oh! And there's an essay sort of about that in here ("On Rapture"). She's writing about Michael Chabon's "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay" but I could easily apply her own words to my reaction to this book of hers: "I was dazed by the playfulness of the author and his [her] ability to do something so difficult with such apparent ease."

    She does make it look easy, doesn't she?

    Molte riflessioni oneste sulla vita e sulle relazioni. Alcune per me personalmente poco interessanti. Altre che fanno riflettere. Quando sono simili alle tue … come dice lei vorresti scriverle per condividere di più. Ma troppo tardi…
