Wallflower at the Orgy

De: Nora Ephron

Narrado por: Kathe Mazur

From her Academy Award—nominated screenplays to her bestselling fiction and essays, Nora Ephron is one of America’s most gifted, prolific, and versatile writers. In this classic collection of magazine articles, 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. 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.

Ephron is always entertaining

I enjoyed listening to this collection of Nora Ephron's articles and essays. I think the only thing that would have made it better is if Nora had been the narrator. #Entertaining #Comical #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Didn’t love this like her others

Didn’t love this one as much as her others. An interesting look back at the late 60’s and early 70’s through her writing.

nostalgic and so well expressed

Loved hearing about that time when I was in my twenties...very authentic ....you can't get enough of Nora Ephron's frankness and humour...miss her greatly!

Fantastic

It’s amazing how little has changed since Nora Ephron wrote these sly, smart, funny essays…

Like having lunch with your funny best friend…
