“A woman for all seasons, tender and tough in just the right proportions.”  -  The New York Times 

In this classic collection of magazine articles, Nora Ephron does what she does best: embrace American culture with love, cynicism, and unmatched wit. From tracking down the beginnings of the self-help movement to dressing down the fashion world’s most powerful publication to capturing a glimpse of a legendary movie in the making, these timeless pieces tap into our enduring obsessions with celebrity, food, romance, clothes, entertainment, and sex. 

"And yet, that position of outsider — the position most common to the people who make the stories and books and films that cause us most strongly to feel, or, as Conrad said, to see — is what allowed Ephron to write so beautifully and so unsparingly, with the insight that can arrive when you are the only person in the room who doesn’t have a dog in the fight."  -  Kyle Minor, Salon

Whether casting her ingenious eye on renowned director Mike Nichols, Cosmopolitan magazine founder Helen Gurley Brown — or herself, as she chronicles her own beauty makeover — Ephron deftly weaves her journalistic skill with the intimate style of an essayist and the incomparable talent of a great storyteller.
