I REMEMBER NOTHING by Nora Ephron (essays)

This is the last book published by the late contemporary writer, Nora Ephron.  Most of the essays in the collection had been previously published in columns she wrote for various journals.  This is a super airport book.  It will afford you excellent company in that interminable terminal; it is light reading and easy to return to after a distraction.  It is especially appealing to middle-aged women and beyond.  Ephron is able to take the mundane in our daily existence and find the absurd.  I found the last two entries, "What I Will Miss" and "What I Won't Miss" particularly moving in the light of Ephron's imminent death.  The book is a poignant memorial to a gifted writer and artist.
