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 world’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 Brown—or herself, as she chronicles her own beauty makeover—Ephron deftly weaves her journalistic skill with the intimate style of an essayist and the incomparable talent of a great storyteller. 510949 1970 Wallflower at the Orgy total:64|5:7|4:20|3:24|2:7|1:6| 64 207 159 17 3 0 false false Sat Apr 25 19:07:09 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 19:23:51 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 03 10:24:39 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 03 10:58:01 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Nov 25 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 17:56:21 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 05:21:13 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Aug 01 11:29:39 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 11:34:41 -0700 2007
it's a book of essays, and the title is explained (and is an appropriate metaphor) but i still had to hide the book cover from my in-laws!
