I Feel Bad About My Neck

And Other Thoughts On Being a Woman

By Nora Ephron

Paperback

I Feel Bad About My Neck

About the Book

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A candid, hilarious look at women of a certain age and dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself--now with an introduction from bestselling author, Dolly Alderton

“Wickedly witty ... Crackling sharp ... Fireworks shoot out [of this collection].” —The Boston Globe

With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice, and dry sense of humor, Nora Ephron chronicles her life as a passionate city dweller, an adventurous cook, and hapless parent. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as an older woman. Utterly courageous, laugh-out-loud funny, and unexpectedly moving in its honesty, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a scrumptious treat of a book—and a candid look at dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself.

As charming and irresistible as it was when it was first published, I Feel Bad About My Neck has all the wit and insight that made Ephron into a cultural icon, a perfect essay collection from a writer who has “an uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are” (The New York Times).
