Nora Ephron was an American journalist, film director, producer, screenwriter, novelist, and blogger.
She was best known for her romantic comedies and is a triple nominee for the Academy Award for Writing Original Screenplay; for Silkwood, When Harry Met Sally... and Sleepless in Seattle. She sometimes wrote with her sister, Delia Ephron.
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.
The woman who brought us When Harry Met Sally . . . , Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail, and Bewitched, and the author of best sellers Heartburn, Scribble Scribble, and Crazy Salad, discusses everything—from how much she hates her purse to how much time she spends attempting to stop the clock: the hair dye, the treadmill, the lotions and creams that promise to slow the aging process but never do. Oh, and she can’t stand the way her neck looks. But her dermatologist tells her there’s no quick fix for that.
Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless parent. She recounts her anything-but-glamorous days as a White House intern during the JFK years (“I am probably the only young woman who ever worked in the Kennedy White House that the President did not make a pass at”) and shares how she fell in and out of love with Bill Clinton—from a distance, of course. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as a woman of a certain age.
Utterly courageous, wickedly funny, and unexpectedly moving in its truth telling, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a book of wisdom, advice, and laugh-out-loud moments, a scrumptious, irresistible treat.</p>

評分很好看的一本書,而且又是新書????所以我是我們學校圖書館的開書人之一麼? 很薄,幾小時就可以讀完。碰巧她編劇導演的那些電影,都是二十幾歲的我耳熟能詳的。 這是個毒舌女王的小心機筆記,犀利毒辣不留情麵,自嘲起來對自己也是絕不手軟,絕大多數觀點都是有共鳴的: “心理...
評分一 五月不發生浪漫的事會對不起這樣的好天氣。 我是說,如果你在駕駛座下永遠備有一把摺疊傘,你就可以有恃無恐地齣門約會。 你坐在省圖書館一樓的咖啡館,就不用擔心明亮的窗外會風雲突變。 我是說,當你把手中那本《我的脖子讓我很不爽》放下,揉瞭揉眼眶,你可以盯著服務生...
評分以前看過一本書 大意是作者說喜歡鞋子,覺得任何鞋子都連著心 這無疑給瞭所有喜歡瘋狂買鞋子的女性一個驚喜 這幾日看到這本小書 更是覺得欣喜 最喜歡關於食物的那段 喜歡做飯的女子必定是熱愛生活的 更何況是願意鑽研各種食材和搭配的 國外的女性作傢的筆法和翻譯者的論調都...
評分前陣子因為覺得自己脖子腫脹跑去醫院檢查,吃藥復診來迴摺騰瞭數日,因此在看到這書標題的時候覺得相當親切。 當然,你絕不會在這本書裏找到治療有關脖子疾病的良方,恰恰看到的是一個獨立女性關於美麗與美食,關於孕育與婚姻的態度。 很愛她一路戲謔的口吻的來敘述我們不得...

評分It's not about the age. Technology is a bitch. Children will leave home someday. You will start gain weight. Then you realize you just accept who you are, and understand what is important.
