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>

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 評分一、 我一口氣把它讀完瞭。這麼說好象還不夠好,那我再補充一下--對如此喜歡的書為什麼不仔細地好好看而要匆匆忙忙囫圇吞棗多有疏漏地快速閱讀呢--因為這隻是第一遍。 我要把它推薦給我所有的女友;我要去買她寫過、導過的所有電影;我要接受她的教誨改變我的生活(比如“...
評分年齡是女人的天敵,所以現代女性要求男性,到瞭隻記生辰不記年代的地步。但話說迴來,嘴裏不說,眼睛不等於看不到,眼毒的男士判斷女人,據說不從臉上,而是照直瞭往脖子上看,一下就能將年齡看穿。也就難怪,一本關於成熟女性的話題書,也會在美國年度熱銷,因為書名就叫《我...
