Nora Ephron
Two classic collections 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 - now available in one audiobook for the first time.
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.

My God. Read the title! PAY ATTENTION! What in the actual noon-day sunshine f&*k did you people expect?!
I swear, it’s like a ham-fisted buffoon buys a box full of LIVE SNAKES and then gets all pissed off (and totally sanctimonious!) when the box arrives, they open it up, the snakes attack, and then literally wastes their dying, final breaths screaming about a refund, shrieking in horror, “Hey! Ow! I didn’t order this! Oww! My face! My neck—ow! What the fff—AAAAGHH!” as the starving serpents bite and strike and squeeze the life from out of this very disappointed customer.
Now, with this hypothetical buffoon’s violent end aside, I’ll concede this is certainly not the most accessible of Nora’s work, however, her striking observations about people and the human condition (not unlike those snakes!) are a prescient, hilarious warning about the place we find ourselves — particularly about gender, politics, and the media; in fact, the chapter “Bob Haldeman & CBS” details the exact moment modern American TV news organizations began paying people to lie on television (or at least the first time they got caught) for something called “Soft News,”which draws a pretty direct, chilling line to the current 24-hour news cycle we’ve grown used to (and, dare I say, “bored” with!) where pundits and politicians alike barking on top of each other, spewing objectively false garbage from opposite sides is the norm — and when you consider all of that? Maybe these vividly honest insights might be of more interest to show us all where we’ve been, and more to the point, where we are going.
It’s In The Title, Folks!
