Nora Ephron’s Crazy Salad is a collection of magazine pieces from the 1970s. The first piece, “A Few Words About Breasts,” reveals her approach, mixing reflection, finely tuned social antennae, and a self-awareness both shrewd and funny, all the while evincing the disorienting self-assessment that is central to the wider context of American womanhood. She writes about the growing pains of the women’s movement with both insight and impatience, and about figures of contemporary notoriety, from porn star Linda Lovelace to presidential secretary Rose Mary Woods, with a nose for both news and the deeper scents of cultural meaning.

Everything Ephron wrote is gold, full of comedy and wit and a razor sharp intellect.
