About this listen

Based on more than 30 interviews with some of Ephron’s closest friends, family, collaborators, and colleagues, as well as numerous interviews Ephron herself gave, award-winning journalist and cultural critic Doidge has written a riveting story of the life of a creative writer who revolutionized journalism, comedy, and film

Nora Ephron was one of the most popular, accomplished, and beloved writers in American journalism and film.

Nora Ephron: A Biography is the first biography of the Manhattan-born girl who forged a path of her own, earning accolades and adoration from critics and fans alike. Author Kristin Marguerite Doidge explores the tremendous successes and disappointing failures Ephron sustained in her career and examines the private life she tried to keep in balance with her insatiable ambition.

Nora’s career spanned five decades of smart, successful writing in nearly every medium: magazines, essays, movies, plays, books, and even blogs. Based on rare archival research and more than 30 interviews with some of Ephron’s closest friends, family, collaborators, adversaries, and colleagues—as well as numerous interviews Ephron herself gave throughout her career—award-winning journalist and cultural critic Doidge has written a captivating story of the life of a creative writer whose passion for the perfect one-liner and ferocious drive to succeed revolutionized journalism, comedy, and film.

The first in-depth biography to explore the complex themes that ran through Nora’s work and to examine why so many of them still grab our attention today.

Loved all the perspectives, background on Nora's childhood, info about her parents and sister. The insights about Nora based on her early life was rich. (Was slightly disappointed in the unfortunate French enunciations, which should have been perfect.) Having heard many Nora stories from friends and crew members, it felt very authentic and genuine. Great quotes from a fantastic assortment of colleagues and associates. Thank you ♥️ for this comprehensive biography.

Really enjoyable and informative about a charismatic and inspiring writer/director icon

Nora touched us all in so many different and surprising ways. Even in the little discoveries contained in this biography, Nora makes you think beyond yourself. Nicely written, skillfully narrated. Now I want to watch some of her and her colleagues' creations again with a deeper understanding. Enjoyed this a lot.

Informative & touching. You need to read it.
