Wallflower at the Orgy

Wallflower at the Orgy

A bitingly funny, provocative, and revealing look at our foibles, passions, and pasttimesâ€”from one of the most creative minds of our time.

â€œNora Ephron can write about anything better than anybody else can write about anything.â€â€”The New York Times

From her Academy Awardâ€“nominated screenplays to her bestselling fiction and essays, Nora Ephron is one of Americaâ€™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 worldâ€™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 Brownâ€”or herself, as she chronicles her own beauty makeoverâ€”Ephron deftly weaves her journalistic skill with the intimate style of an essayist and the incomparable talent of a great storyteller.
