What a title for a book by an author of 13 screen plays, 2 dramas, 5 books of essays and a novel!
Nora Ephron remembers a lot. She then prints a list of 11 people which begins with Justice Hugo Black and ends with Dorothy Parker, and says she remembers them not.
Ephron’s style is bright and breezy, but beneath can be found a subtext serious and sometimes verging on the sentimental, as in her essay “The Legend,” about her mother.
Don’t miss “The Six Stages of Email,” which begins with “Infatuation” and ends with “Death,” where she begs for only a simple phone call.
Ephron ends the book listing “Things I Won’t Miss.” E-mail is mentioned twice, along with Polls, Fox and Joe Lieberman. A chapter titled “What I Will Miss,” begins with kids and husband, and ends with pie.
