Fiction. Literature. HTML:Nora Ephron returns with her first book since the astounding success of I Feel Bad About My Neck, taking a cool, hard, hilarious look at the past, the present, and the future, bemoaning the vicissitudes of modern life, and recalling with her signature clarity and wisdom everything she hasnt (yet) forgotten.
Ephron writes about falling hard for a way of life (Journalism: A Love Story) and about breaking up even harder with the men in her life (The D Word); lists Twenty-five Things People Have a Shocking Capacity to Be Surprised by Over and Over Again (There is no explaining the stock market but people try; You can never know the truth of anyones marriage, including your own; Cary Grant was Jewish; Men cheat); reveals the alarming evolution, a decade after she wrote and directed Youve Got Mail, of her relationship with her in-box (The Six Stages of E-Mail); and asks the age-old question, which came first, the chicken soup or the cold? All the while, she gives candid, edgy voice to everything women who have reached a certain age have been thinking . . . but rarely acknowledging.
Filled with insights and observations that instantly ring trueand could have come only from Nora EphronI Remember Nothing is pure joy.

A quick and amusing read. ( )

This collection of essays is very short and can be read in about an hour or so. Nora Ephron's observations on people, life, and aging are always amusing to me. ( )

This book is basically an old person telling boring anecdotes. If you like that experience, you'll probably like this book.

This was an absolute fun read. Nora's voice rang out in this (what do you call it? memoir?. Very relatable, enjoyable book. Just reading these little snippets makes me wish I had met her, I know she would make a great friend. ( )

There’s plenty of Ephron’s usual wit in these reminiscences, which zip about in subject from her career and famous friends to her loathing for egg white omelettes and all they represent. But beneath the jaunty cover and droll, self-conscious title lies an unflinching examination of what it feels like to grow old and watch your friends die.

Reading this book is a little like being sat down by an older, wiser friend, who hands you a large gin and tonic and says: "Now listen carefully, because I haven't got much time." There are chapters called "Flops" (about her movies), "The Six Stages of Email" (v funny, lol) and "My Life as a Meat Loaf", about the time when Graydon Carter set up a restaurant and named the dish after her. "I'd hoped for a dance step, or a pair of pants," she reflects. "But I was older now, and I was willing to settle for a meat loaf." There are several short chapters each beginning "I Just Want To Say ...", about the egg-white omelette, Teflon, chicken soup, and "No, I do not want another bottle of Pellegrino". These are not meant to be confused with "something actually important, like the war in Afghanistan", but they also really must be stopped.

Yet her once razor-sharp wit now strays into grumpy Andy Rooney territory. Ephron is irascible and shallow, and occasionally verges on self-parody when she dedicates an entire essay to an eponymous meat loaf.

Much of Ephron’s petulant kvetching about expensive restaurants and inconsiderate friends appears Marie Antoinette-ish. I also found it hard to swallow Ephron’s gripes about annoying e-mail and erratic Internet experts while she consulted Google to bolster her ailing memory.
 
“I Remember Nothing” is fluffy and companionable, a nifty airport read from a writer capable of much, much more.

En zo zijn we weer terug bij de conferentie over internet die ik vorige week bezocht. Het zal niet verbazen dat daar een nieuwe onomstotelijk geachte waarheid naar voren werd gebracht, namelijk dat er miljarden te verdienen zijn met reclame op internet. Plotseling was duidelijk geworden dat er heel veel geld is voor reclame en dat je alleen maar voor wat content hoefde te zorgen waar adverteerders iets naast konden zetten. Ik moest denken aan wat internetbedrijven tegenwoordig onder 'content' verstaan: 'iets waar adverteerders iets naast kunnen zetten'.
Dat vond ik een deprimerende gedachte, ook al werd dat enigszins verzacht door mijn overtuiging dat elke onomstotelijk geachte waarheid over dit onderwerp[ uiteindelijk toch wordt weerlegd.
En trouwens, de aarde is niet plat. Er zijn overal muren. Als dat niet zo was, waren we weggebleven uit Irak, waar iedereen, niet alleen Tom Friedman, zijn hand overspeeld heeft.
