  <default_description>The classic &lt;i&gt;Crazy Salad,&lt;/i&gt; by screenwriting legend and novelist Nora Ephron, is an extremely funny, deceptively light look at a generation of women (and men) who helped shape the way we live now. In this distinctive, engaging, and simply hilarious view of a period of great upheaval in America, Ephron turns her keen eye and wonderful sense of humor to the media, politics, beauty products, and women's bodies. In the famous &quot;A Few Words About Breasts,&quot; for example, she tells us: &quot;If I had had them, I would have been a completely different person. I honestly believe that.&quot; Ephron brings her sharp pen to bear on the notable women of the time, and to a series of events ranging from Watergate to the Pillsbury Bake-Off. When it first appeared in 1975, &lt;i&gt;Crazy Salad&lt;/i&gt; helped to illuminate a new American era--and helped us to laugh at our times and ourselves. This new edition will delight a fresh generation of readers.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I was inspired to read this by Ariel Levy's recent New Yorker profile on Ephron. This has much more substance than her movies, or even her most recent book. Most of these essays were written just after I was born, so it's a useful historical perspective. A lot actually has improved.

    <body><![CDATA[I am unsure where I got this book from, but it was a good read when I got it.  Ephron is very funny, and presents her arguments for and against certain feminist tenets with particular flair.  Some of the stuff that was in here made me very sqeamish (in fact, the essay on a strange menstrual device w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15527480">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I became a fan of Nora Ephron's work over the years and am a huge fan of her screenplays, &quot;When Harry Met Sally,&quot; &quot;Sleepless in Seattle,&quot; and &quot;You've Got Mail.&quot; This is a collection of essays that Ephron wrote while a writer for Esquire and New York magazine in the 1970...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22761363">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I can't even remember how many times I've read this collection of essays. Even though they're from the 1970s, they still feel fresh today. It's Ephron at her best. This book is also a great pick-me-up if you're struggling with writing. I find it can break writer's block...at least for me.<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6731440">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Nora Ephron is honest, direct and pointed in her essays and stories.  The &quot;romance&quot; of her movies is absent in this collection of articles, but this new perspective (for me) of her work was interesting.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A collection of Nora Ephron's articles from Esquire magazine from the early 1970s. Witty and a fascinating look at politics and feminism during that time period. A quick read and an interesting one, especially for someone not alive to experience any of this first hand.]]></body>
