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>

很好看的一本书,而且又是新书????所以我是我们学校图书馆的开书人之一么? 很薄,几小时就可以读完。碰巧她编剧导演的那些电影,都是二十几岁的我耳熟能详的。 这是个毒舌女王的小心机笔记,犀利毒辣不留情面,自嘲起来对自己也是绝不手软,绝大多数观点都是有共鸣的: “心理...
评分年初时我回顾Meryl Streep终身成就奖颁奖典礼,心里默默地替各位嘉宾的发言打分。第一名:Nora Ephron。修炼英式dry humor不容易,而Nora往那儿一站这种幽默就如同跳跳糖般急不可待从她口中蹦出来。弹跳力量适中。 书中处处充溢着这种幽默感。我的飞机在凌晨起飞,索性横躺在...
评分一、 我一口气把它读完了。这么说好象还不够好,那我再补充一下--对如此喜欢的书为什么不仔细地好好看而要匆匆忙忙囫囵吞枣多有疏漏地快速阅读呢--因为这只是第一遍。 我要把它推荐给我所有的女友;我要去买她写过、导过的所有电影;我要接受她的教诲改变我的生活(比如“...
评分前阵子因为觉得自己脖子肿胀跑去医院检查,吃药复诊来回折腾了数日,因此在看到这书标题的时候觉得相当亲切。 当然,你绝不会在这本书里找到治疗有关脖子疾病的良方,恰恰看到的是一个独立女性关于美丽与美食,关于孕育与婚姻的态度。 很爱她一路戏谑的口吻的来叙述我们不得...
评分年龄是女人的天敌,所以现代女性要求男性,到了只记生辰不记年代的地步。但话说回来,嘴里不说,眼睛不等于看不到,眼毒的男士判断女人,据说不从脸上,而是照直了往脖子上看,一下就能将年龄看穿。也就难怪,一本关于成熟女性的话题书,也会在美国年度热销,因为书名就叫《我...
