She Made Me Laugh: My Friend Nora Ephron

She Made Me Laugh: My Friend Nora Ephron

â€œA very personal remembrance of Nora Ephronâ€™s life and loves, and her ups and downsâ€ (USA TODAY) by her long-time and dear friend Richard Cohen in a hilarious, blunt, raucous, and poignant recollection of their decades-long friendship.

Nora Ephron (1941â€“2012) was a phenomenal personality, journalist, essayist, novelist, playwright, Oscar-nominated screenwriter, and movie director (Sleepless in Seattle; Youâ€™ve Got Mail; When Harry Met Sally; Heartburn; Julie & Julia). She wrote a slew of bestsellers (I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman; I Remember Nothing: And Other Reflections; Scribble, Scribble: Notes on the Media; Crazy Salad: Some Things About Women). She was celebrated by Hollywood, embraced by literary New York, and adored by legions of fans throughout the world.

Award-winning journalist Richard Cohen, wrote this about She Made Me Laugh: â€œI call this book a third-person memoir. It is about my closest friend, Nora Ephron, and the lives we lived together and how her life got to be bigger until, finally, she wrote her last work, the play, Lucky Guy, about a newspaper columnist dying of cancer while she herself was dying of cancer. I have interviewed many of her other friendsâ€”Mike Nichols, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, Arianna Huffingtonâ€”but the book is not a name-dropping star turn, but an attempt to capture a remarkable woman who meant so much to so many other women.â€

With â€œthe nuanced perspective of a confidantâ€ (The Washington Post), She Made Me Laugh â€œis a fine tribute to a fascinating womanâ€ (Houston Chronicle): â€œNora would be pleasedâ€ (People, â€œBook of the Weekâ€).
