I Feel Bad About My Neck and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman

In her latest book to be launched at Book Week, Nora Ephron examines the indignities of ageing with her biting humour, comforting us with the thought that no matter how much our neck sags, our skin wrinkles and our children don’t appreciate us, someone else has been there before you.

She gives us glimpses from her anything-but-glamorous debut as a White House intern during the JFK years to her successful career as novelist, script writer and director. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as a woman of a certain age.

Whether you are a young fan, a clueless man or a grumpy woman, this session is for you.

Nora Ephron is the author of Heartburn, Crazy Salad and Wallflower at the Orgy. She received Academy Award nominations for Best Original Screenplay for When Harry Met Sally,Silkwood, and Sleepless in Seattle, which she also directed.
