Description

#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.

Critical Reviews

"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
