I recently read something I liked online by Delia Ephron. I don't remember what it was, but it was enough for me to look her up and remember about Nora Ephron and request a few of their things at the library. I walked over to the library on my lunch break a few days ago, since I'd been told that one of my items had come in, and was surprised to find that Love, Loss, and What I Wore" was in fact a very short play, not a book as I was expecting. In my haste of requesting, I remembered that I'd heard of this title but nothing else about it. That was kind of a funny moment and reminded me to pay more attention, but I definitely wasn't disappointed! I ended up pulling it out at and What I Wore gym that evening because I was looking for something to distract me woo! It's quite short finished it in Love short-ish gym session and really hilarious. The good kind of "chick lit," I guess, reminding us how Western society is fucked but in a laughing way. Girlfriends talking about body image and clothing and all that. In short, I would love to see Love performed! Looking forward to some more Ephron works showing up at the library in future days. A super quick read, but a good one! Really speaks to me as a woman about how differently society treats women in different outfits and how it fucks us up. Feel like it would be especially fun to read in a stereotypical wine-filled book club setting. Aug 07, Gabrielle rated it really liked it Shelves: own-a- copy.

So like me and most of the women in this book to initially reject something quite Loss and wonderful simply because she recommended it. Perhaps by the time I turn 50 6 months I will stop acting like a teenager. The play is sparse and ensemble: it is rather quaint compared to most Love the work I typically like, but the majority of monologues are well crafted and sincere. This is the kind of play that will speak My mother's theater group did this play, and she gave me a copy to read afterward. This is the kind of play that will speak to wide audiences and tastes.

I don't know if it was because Delia Ephron co-wrote this, or because it was in play format instead of essays, but I liked this so much more than the other Nora Ephron pieces I've been reading. I Love liked the purse scene more than I liked it as an essay. Nora's writing fits scripts better than it fits prose. Mar 26, Cat rated it it was amazing Shelves: nora-ephron.
