The Most of Nora Ephron - Tapa blanda

"When she died in 2012, the public outpouring made clear how vastly popular she had become,and the great cheerful tome that is The MOST of Nora Ephron looks nothing if not confident of its mass appeal." (The Times Literary Supplement)

"A good reminder of some of the strengths of her remarkable career...for all her clever writing about food, politics and overcluttered purses...(she was) the ultimate romantic." (Gail Collins New York Times)

"A big, gratifying collection . . . the work of a brilliant woman." (Los Angeles Times)

"In her incomparable and characteristically unregretful voice, Ephron makes acute observations on each page of this delicious compilation." (Daily Mail)

"Hugely entertaining...What made Ephron great was that she took the very things seriously that others dismissed as frivolous, Cosmopolitan, Teflon, breast size, and, most of all, herself." (Entertainment Weekly)

A comprehensive anthology of Nora Ephron at her funniest and most acute, here are her writings on journalism, feminism, and being a woman; on the importance of food (with favourite recipes), and on the bittersweet reality of growing old. This collection includes extracts from her bestselling novel Heartburn, written in the wake of her devastating divorce from Carl Bernstein, and from her hilarious screenplay for the movie When Harry Met Sally, as well as the complete text of her recent play Lucky Guy, published here for the first time. There are many personal pieces of memoir, as well as her sharp assessments of such controversial women as Lillian Hellman and Helen Gurley Brown.
