This collection of essays is very short and can be read in about an hour or so. Nora Ephron's observations on people, life, and aging are always amusing to me. ( ) Curt (massa curt!) relat en què l'autora passa revista a alguns episodis de la seva vida i en fa uns relats deliciosos. L'Eva Piquer en fa el prefaci i, per sort, l'he llegit una vegada ja havia acabat el llibre: no m'agrada que m'expliquin què em dirà l'autora, prefereixo descobrir-ho jo mateixa. Després sí, després m'encanta, així veig si estem d'acord i sempre aprenc aspectes nous que no sabia o no coneixia. Una traducció estupenda!
There’s plenty of Ephron’s usual wit in these reminiscences, which zip about in subject from her career and famous friends to her loathing for egg white omelettes and all they represent. But beneath the jaunty cover and droll, self-conscious title lies an unflinching examination of what it feels like to grow old and watch your friends die. Reading this book is a little like being sat down by an older, wiser friend, who hands you a large gin and tonic and says: "Now listen carefully, because I haven't got much time." There are chapters called "Flops" (about her movies), "The Six Stages of Email" (v funny, lol) and "My Life as a Meat Loaf", about the time when Graydon Carter set up a restaurant and named the dish after her. "I'd hoped for a dance step, or a pair of pants," she reflects. "But I was older now, and I was willing to settle for a meat loaf." There are several short chapters each beginning "I Just Want To Say ...", about the egg-white omelette, Teflon, chicken soup, and "No, I do not want another bottle of Pellegrino". These are not meant to be confused with "something actually important, like the war in Afghanistan", but they also really must be stopped. Yet her once razor-sharp wit now strays into grumpy Andy Rooney territory. Ephron is irascible and shallow, and occasionally verges on self-parody when she dedicates an entire essay to an eponymous meat loaf. Much of Ephron’s petulant kvetching about expensive restaurants and inconsiderate friends appears Marie Antoinette-ish. I also found it hard to swallow Ephron’s gripes about annoying e-mail and erratic Internet experts while she consulted Google to bolster her ailing memory. “I Remember Nothing” is fluffy and companionable, a nifty airport read from a writer capable of much, much more. Prestigefyllda urval
En samling smarta och roliga tankar om livet och l̄drandet av fr̲fattaren till "When Harry met Sally", "You've got Mail" och "Sleepless in Seattle". "Jag minns ingenting" blev Nora Ephrons sista bok. En samling essẽr och krn̲ikor om allt frn̄ g̃gviteomeletter till skilsms̃sor, som fr̄ dig att skratta igenkñnande, kanske upprr̲as och till och med grt̄a en skvt̃t.

Med stor sjl̃vinsikt summerar Ephron hr̃ sitt liv, och bokens huvudteman kretsar kring: journalistiken, filmbranschen,barndomen, mñnen, l̄drandet och framfr̲ allt New York, alltid New York.
