About this listen

Nora Ephron, one of the most famous writers, film makers, and personalities of her time is captured by her long-time and dear friend in a hilarious, blunt, raucous, and poignant recollection of their decades-long friendship.

Nora Ephron (1941 - 2012) was a phenomenal personality, journalist, essayist, novelist, playwright, Oscar-nominated screenwriter, and movie director (Sleepless in Seattle; You've Got Mail; When Harry Met Sally; Heartburn; Julie & Julia). She wrote a slew of bestsellers (I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman; I Remember Nothing: And Other Reflections; Scribble, Scribble: Notes on the Media; Crazy Salad: Some Things About Women). She was celebrated by Hollywood, embraced by literary New York, and adored by legions of fans throughout the world.

Award-winning journalist Richard Cohen wrote this about his "third-person memoir": "I call this book a third-person memoir. It is about my closest friend, Nora Ephron, and the lives we lived together and how her life got to be bigger until, finally, she wrote her last work, the play, Lucky Guy, about a newspaper columnist dying of cancer while she herself was dying of cancer. I have interviewed many of her other friends - Mike Nichols, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, Arianna Huffington - but the book is not a name-dropping star turn, but an attempt to capture a remarkable woman who meant so much to so many other women."

Richard Cohen’s writing style and dry wit as he shared the life of his obviously beloved friend, Nora Ephron, was spot on. The narration was perfect as well. I loved Nora Ephron’s writings and movies and came away from this book with a greater appreciation of what a fascinating person she was. As hard as this must have been for Cohen to write, I’m so glad he did. A great listen. Highly recommend!

I usually just praise the contents but the narrator was just as superb & essential as the writing in telling the story of Nora’s life! His droll, understated, subtle sarcasm brought sparkle to the narrative!

Touching story about a Grand Gal

Terrible book boring boring
No reason to write it …Nora was amazing person the book sounds like description of a vale or servant

Bad reading

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

This is a difficult book to finish. It smacks of bitterness and envy. Cohen seemed bent on putting Ephron in a bad light.

waste of time
