Detailed item info | Synopsis | In this wry and knowing collection of essays and comic observation, Nora Ephron, the famous writer of Hollywood romantic comedies, tackles her own mortality and her innumerable attempts to stave off the inevitable by means of money, investing in hair dye, highlights, facials, spas, etc. Beneath the abundant humor is a tinge of melancholy and fear--but beneath that is more humor.

| | Industry reviews | "[Nora Ephron is] always good for an amusing line, a wry smile, and sometimes an abashed grin of recognition as she homes in on one of our own dubious obsessions."
