I Remember Nothingby Nora Ephron |
Gail Reid: Nora Ephron's "I Remember Nothing" a memoir on women and aging follows "I Feel Bad About My Neck" three years later. The chapters are short; and the issues are about the same. A woman pushing 70, Ephron gains a great deal of support from her readership when she recounts how hard it is to remember anything! And, particularly the names of people at parties!
Unlike her earlier work, I think that this one lacks depth. We do learn about her early life wth an alcoholic mother;
and we learn again and again the repercussions of her divorce; and, of course, there are a few good recipes thrown in
from a serious foodie. But this book lacks the poignance of her other. In fact, one week after I finished it, I
Remember Nothing.
