“Vecchie amiche? Direi di sì. Sei molto contenta di vedermi. E io sono molto contenta di vedere te. Ma chi sei?” Nora ha un problema con la memoria. E non c’entra l’età. È una cosa che si trascina da quando aveva trent’anni. Ci sono le prove. I personaggi incontrati di cui non ricorda nulla. Gli eventi, anche importanti, in cui lei era in prima fila e che tuttavia non hanno lasciato traccia: le manifestazioni a Washington contro la guerra in Vietnam, la sera alla Casa Bianca in cui Nixon diede le dimissioni, almeno un centinaio di partite dei Knicks e un’infinità di concerti rock, alcuni persino leggendari. Non è stata a Woodstock – ma che differenza fa? Tanto non se lo ricorderebbe. In questa raccolta di saggi ci sono però anche le cose di cui Nora si ricorda benissimo. Come riuscì a farsi assumere dal “New York Post” a ventun anni. I tabù di sua madre. Le telefonate di suo padre. Perché portò a termine la sceneggiatura di Harry ti presento Sally pur pensando che non valesse niente. L’amore, l’amicizia e la perdita. La sua ricetta dei pancake alla ricotta. Ciò di cui farebbe volentieri a meno e quello di cui invece sentirà la mancanza, quando avrà davvero dimenticato tutto il resto. Un memoir imperdibile da un’autrice che in molte avremmo voluto come amica del cuore.

Los dos libros esenciales de Nora Ephron reunidos en un solo volumen magníficamente ilustrado por Patricia Bolaños. Nora Ephron no necesita presentación, es una de las escritoras y guionistas neoyorquinas más singulares e influyentes de las últimas décadas. Su inconfundible visión del mundo moderno, su sarcástica y a la vez positiva mirada sobre los traspiés de la vida y sus consejos rebosantes de humor y agudeza la han convertido en la amiga ideal que todos querríamos tener. Por sus páginas desfilan sin complejos las dichas y miserias que nos suceden a diario, en ellas caben cremas antiarrugas, bolsos detestables, hijos adolescentes que nos ignoran, despistes, bandejas de correo caóticas y matrimonios y recetas que a veces no salen como esperábamos; anécdotas aparentemente intrascendentes que ella transforma cómicamente en refrescante sabiduría cotidiana. Este libro reúne por primera vez dos de sus obras esenciales, No me gusta mi cuello y No me acuerdo de nada, maravillosamente ilustradas por Patricia Bolaños. Un regalo infalible, tanto para fans como para quienes no hayan leído todavía a una escritora que, da igual lo que nos ocurra, tiene siempre el remedio para reconciliarnos con el mundo. «Ephron realiza una pirueta tras otra para demostrarnos que lo increíblemente difícil es hacer que narrar parezca sencillo.» Lucía Lijtmaer «Con una voz única, sus textos desgranan las alegrías y sinsabores de nuestros tiempos convirtiéndolos en hilarantes y conmovedoras reflexiones.» Laura Ferrero «Nora Ephron es la única amiga imaginaria de mi adultez (...). Su humor nos propone una forma de entender la vida.» Dolly Alderton «Devoré su prosa (...) y me convertí en fan junto con mi madre, mi tía, mi abuela y cualquier mujer inteligente que puedas encontrar.» Lena Dunham

¿És possible escriure un llibre hilarant sobre la ruptura d''un matrimoni perfecte? Si l''escriptora és Nora Ephron, la resposta és un sí rotund. Una història que lliga l''adulteri, , la teràpia de grup i l''estofat de carn, i que ens demostra que una bona comèdia necessita la seva dosi d''angoixa com una bona salsa necessita farina i mantega. La Rachel Samstat, embarassada de set mesos, un dia descobreix que el seu marit, Mark, està enamorat d''una altra dona. La Rachel, que es guanya la vida escrivint llibres de cuina, troba en el menjar un cert bàlsam i consol; així, mentre es debat entre l''intent de recuperar en Mark i el desig de veure''l mort, la Rachel troba temps per oferir-nos algunes de les seves receptes preferides. Coragre és l''única novel·la de Nora Ephron; una història deliciosa explicada amb l''humor àcid propi de l''autora, una muntanya russa d''amor, traïció, pèrdua i, el més satisfactori, venjança.

A whopping big celebration of the work of the late, great Nora Ephron, America’s funniest—and most acute—writer, famous for her brilliant takes on life as we’ve been living it these last forty years. Everything you could possibly want from Nora Ephron is here—from her writings on journalism, feminism, and being a woman (the notorious piece on being flat-chested, the clarion call of her commencement address at Wellesley) to her best-selling novel, Heartburn, written in the wake of her devastating divorce from Carl Bernstein; from her hilarious and touching screenplay for the movie When Harry Met Sally . . . (“I’ll have what she’s having”) to her recent play Lucky Guy (published here for the first time); from her ongoing love affair with food, recipes and all, to her extended takes on such controversial women as Lillian Hellman and Helen Gurley Brown; from her pithy blogs on politics to her moving meditations on aging (“I Feel Bad About My Neck”) and dying. Her superb writing, her unforgettable movies, her honesty and fearlessness, her nonpareil humor have made Nora Ephron an icon for America’s women—and not a few of its men.

Amb una veu seductora, íntima, accessible i càlida, i un sentit de l''humor àcid i sense pèls a la llengua, Nora Ephron es retrata, en aquests assajos, com una cuinera obsessiva, una mare desastrosa i una ciutadana apassionada i militant. Però, per sobre de tot, ens parla obertament i amb perplexitat genuïna de l''experiència de fer-se gran, de l''envelliment del cos i la decadència de la ment, de la frustració de perdre el ritme i de veure que el món comença a girar massa depressa. Valent, escandalosament divertit i sorprenentment commovedor, sobretot per la força i la veritat que contenen els textos, "Tinc un coll que fa pena" és un recull irresistible i deliciós ple de veritats innegables, anècdotes hilarants i reflexions que apel·laran a lectors de totes les edats.

Ephron en estado puro. El libro más emblemático de la autora. «Nunca te cases con un hombre del que no te gustaría divorciarte.» «Cualquier cosa que no te guste de tu cuerpo a los treinta y cinco años te producirá nostalgia a los cuarenta y cinco.» «Si un zapato no te vale en la zapatería, nunca te valdrá.» «Cuando los hijos llegan a la adolescencia, es importante tener un perro, para que alguien en casa se alegre de verte.» En esta obra rebosante de prácticos consejos y desenfadada sabiduría, la famosa escritora y cineasta Nora Ephron comparte sus recuerdos y se sincera sobre los temas más variopintos con su habitual sentido del humor y su inconfundible voz. Ephron nos habla de su experiencia como madre y del síndrome del nido vacío; del precio de vivir en su adorada Nueva York; de su paso por la Casa Blanca como becaria; del amor tras un divorcio; de cuánto odia su bolso; de envejecer, del tinte del pelo, la cinta de correr, las cremas que prometen milagros pero que no logran hacer desaparecer las arrugas de su cuello... Publicado en 2006 y convertido ya en un clásico contemporáneo, No me gusta mi cuello es el libro más querido y emblemático de una escritora tan influyente como inimitable. «Con una voz única, sus textos desgranan las alegrías y sinsabores de nuestros tiempos convirtiéndolos en hilarantes y conmovedoras reflexiones.» Laura Ferrero «Ephron realiza una pirueta tras otra para demostrarnos que lo increíblemente difícil es hacer que narrar parezca sencillo.» Lucía Lijtmaer «Nora Ephron es la clase de persona que te gustaría que te tocara al lado en una cena». Javier Aznar «Divertida, rápida, ingeniosa, inteligente y muy observadora.» Aloma Rodríguez (Letras Libres) «Hay pocas articulistas que hayan creado una escuela más poderosa. Lo que hace requiere de un talento fuera de lo común.» Sergio del Molino «El compendio de ''No me acuerdo de nada'' es un intento de conservar los destellos de un mundo que, Ephron lo sabe, se apaga.» Pilar Vera (Diario de Cádiz) «Es muy ácida, es muy divertida, es muy informada, es muy periodista y tiene observaciones muy agudas sobre la cultura y la sociedad de su época.» Sergio C Fanjul

A classic collection of Nora Ephron''s uproarious essays--tackling everything from feminism to the media, from politics to beauty products, with her inimitable charm and distinctive wit. In these sharp, hilariously entertaining, and vividly observed pieces, Ephron illuminates an era with wicked honesty and insight.

Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel Samstat discovers that her husband, Mark, is in love with another woman. The fact that the other woman has a neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb and you should see her legs is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel writes cookbooks for a living. And in between trying to win Mark back and loudly wishing him dead, Ephron''s irrepressible heroine offers some of her favorite recipes. Heartburn is a sinfully delicious novel, as soul-satisfying as mashed potatoes and as airy as a perfect soufflé.

Nora Ephron és una de les escriptores feministes més incisives i hilarants de la literatura nordamericana del segle XX, una articulista d''energia imparable i una guionista de cinema multipremiada. No me''n recordo de res és un recull dels seus articles més mordaços i afilats que ofereixen una mirada còmica sobre el passat i una crítica àcida i personal contra les vicissituds de la vida moderna. Aquestes pàgines ens transporten des de la seva primera feina a la sala de correus de la revista Newseek a les sis fases del correu electrònic, des de records de les festes glamuroses i bullicioses dels seus pares a la vida plena de "moments senils" —o, com en diu ella, "moments Google"—, des dels fracassos més estrepitosos de la seva carrera a les millors alegries. Plena de perspicàcia i d''observacions autèntiques i encertadíssimes, No me''n recordo de res és un recull deliciós i punyent d''una de les escriptores més desacomplexades del panorama nordamericà.

Una divertida y sabia reflexión vital de una de las autoras más queridas e influyentes de Estados Unidos. Nora Ephron es un género literario en sí misma. Famosa por su mordaz ingenio, por sus acertados y cómicos análisis de la experiencia femenina y por su capacidad para detectar los absurdos de la vida moderna, es una de las escritoras y guionistas neoyorquinas más singulares e influyentes de las últimas décadas. En este libro, el último que publicó, Ephron hace un divertido repaso de su pasado, de sus mayores fracasos y alegrías, y se lamenta con humor de las vicisitudes cotidianas. Nos habla –entre otras cosas– de lo que recordamos, olvidamos o inventamos al llegar a cierta edad; de su historia de amor con el periodismo; de cómo sobrevivir a un divorcio; de su preocupante relación con la bandeja de entrada de su correo electrónico; de intimidades, pequeñas manías, recetas favoritas, fiestas desastrosas; y de muchas cuestiones que todas las mujeres se preguntan al llegar a una cierta edad pero que raramente se atreven a confesar. La autora sintetiza lo mejor de su literatura –sinceridad, humor y una sencillez deslumbrante– en No me acuerdo de nada, sin duda una de sus mejores obras. «En esta serie de piezas reflexivas e hilarantes, Nora Ephron realiza una pirueta tras otra para demostrarnos que lo increíblemente difícil es hacer que narrar parezca sencillo.» Lucía Lijtmaer «Devoré su prosa (...) y me convertí en fan junto con mi madre, mi tía, mi abuela y cualquier mujer inteligente que puedas encontrar.» Lena Dunham «Brillante, divertida y honesta. Con una voz única, sus textos desgranan las alegrías y sinsabores de nuestros tiempos convirtiéndolos en hilarantes y conmovedoras reflexiones.» Laura Ferrero «Irónica, rápida de lengua y de escritura, el espíritu irreverente de Ephron sobrevive a su muerte gracias a algunos de los momentos más chispeantes del cine y de la literatura estadounidense.»Gregorio Belinchón (El País) «Divertida, rápida, ingeniosa, inteligente y muy observadora.» Aloma Rodríguez (Letras Libres) pu003e«Un libro de Nora Ephron siempre es una alegría. Aunque no nos salga con nada nuevo. No vamos a sorprender a nadie con lo buena que es Ephron. Con lo buena que es también en estas piezas cortas. O sobre todo en estas piezas cortas.» Rosa Belmonte (ABC) «Da mucha envidia constatar hasta qué punto domina el género de la columna aparentemente intranscendente pero cargada de sabiduría de proximidad, de un sarcasmo reconfortante y de una capacidad de observación mil veces imitada.» Sergi Pàmies (La Vanguardia) «La llegada de un nuevo título de Nora Ephron a las librerías españolas puede no pareceros el gran acontecimiento literario que me parece a mí, pero creedme que lo es.» Laura Barrachina (RNE) «Cada palabra de Ephron vale su peso oro, pulida a mano y lentamente; escogida como aguja en el pajar. (...) Repasa su vida, y todos sus asuntos y en ese olvido lo recuerda todo, con la elegancia de una narración tan esencial que se ríe de todo, de todos y, sobre todo, de ella misma.» Laura Revuelta (ABC Cultural) «Un libro nuevo de Nora Ephron en español es noticia. (...) Hay pocas articulistas que hayan creado una escuela más poderosa. Ephron parece imitable, que es muy fácil lo que hace, pero en realidad requiere de un talento fuera de lo común.» Sergio del Molino (La Cultureta – Onda Cero)

"Ich bin ein Riesenfan, fast schon Ephronologin." Dolly Alderton Nora Ephron ist Kult und dies ist ihr Kultbuch: Darin schreibt sie darüber, was es bedeutet, eine moderne Frau zu sein, deckt Tücken und Freuden, Hürden, Probleme und Chancen auf, und die kleinen Details, die wir alle zu gut kennen – vom ideellen Wert einer Handtasche über Diskriminierungen im Job bis hin zu grenzenloser Liebe zu Essen und den ersten Falten: ehrlich, klug, witzig und keineswegs gradlinig romantisch. Nicht zuletzt sind Ephrons Geschichten eine große Liebeserklärung an ihre Wahlheimat New York City. Ein absolutes Muss für jede Frau jeden Alters!

From the beginning of her career as a young journalist to her final interview—a warm, wise, heartbreaking reflection originally published in the Believer—this is a sparkling look at the life and work of a great talent.

En samling smarta och roliga tankar om livet och åldrandet av författaren till ”When Harry met Sally”, ”You’ve got Mail” och ”Sleepless in Seattle” Jag minns ingenting blev Nora Ephrons sista bok. En samling essäer och krönikor om allt från äggviteomeletter till skilsmässor, som får dig att skratta igenkännande, kanske uppröras och till och med gråta en skvätt... Med sin klara blick och sitt skarpa intellekt beskrev Ephron sin samtid, sitt åldrande och sin syn på olika företeelser med obeveklig humor. Med stor självinsikt summerar Ephron här sitt liv, och bokens huvudteman kretsar kring: journalistiken, filmbranschen, barndomen, männen, åldrandet och framför allt New York – alltid New York.

LUCKY GUY marks a return to Nora Ephron''s journalistic roots. The charismatic and controversial tabloid columnist Mike McAlary covered the scandal- and graffiti-ridden New York of the 1980s. From his sensational reporting of New York''s major police corruption to the libel suit that nearly ended his career, the play dramatizes the story of McAlary''s meteoric rise, fall and rise again, ending with his coverage of the Abner Louima case for which he won the Pulitzer Prize, shortly before his untimely death on Christmas Day, 1998.

Bundel met o.a. de autobiografische roman ''Hartzeer en maagzuur'', het filmscript van ''When Harry met Sally'', en (persoonlijke) korte verhalen, blogs en essays over onder meer thema''s als stijl, cultuur, politiek, eten en vrouwenzaken.

From the bestselling author of I Feel Bad About My Neck: two classic collections of uproarious essays tackling everything from feminism to the media, from politics to beauty products, with her inimitable charm and distinctive wit. This edition brings together some of Ephron’s most famous writing on a generation of women (and men) who helped shape the way we live now, and on events ranging from the Watergate scandal to the Pillsbury Bake-Off. In these sharp, hilariously entertaining, and vividly observed pieces, Ephron illuminates an era with wicked honesty and insight. From the famous “A Few Words About Breasts” to important pieces on her time working for the New York Post and Gourmet Magazine, these essays show Ephron at her very best.

A 40th anniversary reissue of the national bestselling author''s hilarious first novel that memorably mixed food, heartbreak, and revenge into a comic masterpiece—now with a new foreword by Stanley Tucci. • "Touching and funny.... Proof that writing well is the best revenge." —Chicago Tribune Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. In this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle and When Harry Met Sally... reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter. Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel Samstat discovers that her husband, Mark, is in love with another woman. The fact that the other woman has "a neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb and you should see her legs" is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel writes cookbooks for a living. And in between trying to win Mark back and loudly wishing him dead, Ephron''s irrepressible heroine offers some of her favorite recipes. Heartburn is a sinfully delicious novel, as soul-satisfying as mashed potatoes and as airy as a perfect soufflé.

A bitingly funny, provocative, and revealing look at our foibles, passions, and pasttimes—from one of the most creative minds of our time. “Nora Ephron can write about anything better than anybody else can write about anything.”—The New York Times From her Academy Award–nominated screenplays to her bestselling fiction and essays, Nora Ephron is one of America’s most gifted, prolific, and versatile writers. In this classic collection of magazine articles, Ephron does what she does best: embrace American culture with love, cynicism, and unmatched wit. From tracking down the beginnings of the self-help movement to dressing down the fashion world’s most powerful publication to capturing a glimpse of a legendary movie in the making, these timeless pieces tap into our enduring obsessions with celebrity, food, romance, clothes, entertainment, and sex. Whether casting her ingenious eye on renowned director Mike Nichols, Cosmopolitan magazine founder Helen Gurley Brown—or herself, as she chronicles her own beauty makeover—Ephron deftly weaves her journalistic skill with the intimate style of an essayist and the incomparable talent of a great storyteller.

The complete screenplay of Rob Reiner''s enormously funny and moving film, When Harry Met Sally—a romantic comedy about the difficult, frustrating, awful, funny search for happiness in an American city, where the primary emotion is unrequited love. "A winner, a lavishly romantic lark, brimming over with style, intelligence and flashing wit." —Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Written by Nora Ephron, author of screenplays for Silkwood and Heartburn (from her own bestselling novel)—When Harry Met Sally is as hilarious on the page as it is on the screen. The book includes an introduction by the author.

''Memories, aphorisms and stern good advice from America''s favourite naughty aunt'' Independent on Sunday ''This book is as grown-up as a dirty martini'' Sunday Times ''Sharp as a knife'' Daily Express ___ In her final book, Nora Ephron reflects on life, growing older, and everything she will and won''t miss. Filled with Nora''s trademark wit, wisdom and warmth. * No one actually likes to admit they''re old. The most they will cop to is that they''re older. Or oldish. * Freedom of the press belongs to the man who owns one. * I have been forgetting things for years-at least since I was in my thirties. I know this because I wrote something about it at the time. I have proof. Of course, I can''t remember exactly where I wrote about it, or when, but I could probably hunt it up if I had to. ___ Praise for Nora Ephron ''So bold and so vulnerable at the same time. I don''t know how she did it'' Phoebe Waller-Bridge ''Oh how I loved Nora Ephron'' Nigella Lawson ''Funny, knowing and smart'' India Knight ''Nora''s exacting, precise, didactic, tried-and-tested, sophisticated-woman-wearing-all-black wisdom is a comfort and a relief'' Dolly Alderton

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Here is the beloved, bestselling author of I Feel Bad About My Neck at her funniest, wisest, and best, taking a hilarious look at the past and bemoaning the vicissitudes of modern life—and recalling with her signature clarity and wisdom everything she hasn’t (yet) forgotten. In these pages she takes us from her first job in the mailroom at Newsweek to the six stages of email, from memories of her parents’ whirlwind dinner parties to her own life now full of Senior Moments (or, as she calls them, Google moments), from her greatest career flops to her most treasured joys. Filled with insights and observations that instantly ring true, I Remember Nothing is a delightful, poignant gift from one of our finest writers.

The perfect holiday gift: a pair of hilarious books from the “wickedly witty and astute” Nora Ephron, a “crackling smart cultural scribe” (The Boston Globe) whose insights and observations have made her a heroine to women all over America. Critics and readers embraced the nationwide best seller I Feel Bad About My Neck—“Marvelous” (The Washington Post); “Sparkling” (Ladies’ Home Journal); “Delightful” (The New York Review of Books)—and applauded Ephron for “mak[ing] the truth about life so funny” (The Sunday Times, London). In I Remember Nothing the beloved humorist returns with more razor-sharp reflections on growing older in the twenty-first century, along with those stories from the past she hasn’t (yet) forgotten. I Feel Bad About My Neck and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice and dry sense of humor, Ephron shares with us her ups and downs in this wise, wonderful look at women of a certain age who are dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and everything in between. Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, a passionate city dweller, and a hapless parent. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about getting older. Utterly courageous, unexpectedly moving, and laugh-out-loud funny, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a scrumptious, irresistible treat of a book. I Remember Nothing and Other Reflections Ephron takes a cool, hard, hilarious look at the past, the present, and the future, writing about falling hard for a way of life (“Journalism: A Love Story”) and breaking up even harder with the men in her life (“The D Word”); revealing the alarming evolution, a decade after she wrote and directed You’ve Got Mail, of her relationship with her in-box (“The Six Stages of E-mail”); and asking the age-old question, which came first, the chicken soup or the cold? All the while, she gives voice to everything women have been thinking . . . but rarely acknowledging. Filled with insights and observations that instantly ring true—and could have come only from Nora Ephron—I Remember Nothing is pure joy. “[Ephron] retains an uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are . . . Some things don’t change. It’s good to know that Ms. Ephron’s wry, knowing X-ray vision is one of them.” —The New York Times “Nora Ephron has become timeless.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review
