Our view
“I Feel Bad About My Neck” is a short, witty essay collection in which Nora Ephron looks at getting older with a wry eye and plenty of candour. Menopause, empty nests and the constant upkeep of a body all become material for comedy, and most of the book stays light. Some readers are surprised when the final essay turns moving rather than funny. Anyone who likes humour with an honest edge will find plenty here.
