From “the queen of quips” (The New York Times) comes a hilarious and inspiring quote collection about everything that matters—love and heartbreak, good food and good company, aging well and writing well. We all want a best friend like Nora frank but forgiving, wry but caring, someone who knows not only what to say but how to say Don’t know what to wear? “Black matches with everything, especially black.” Trouble in love? “You can never know the truth of anyone’s marriage, including your own.” Searching for a new belief system? “My religion is Get Over It.” Here is the best of Nora for every season of life, selected from a wide range of writing across her storied career, from her early days in the news media to her cult classic novel, to her unexpected turn as a legendary Hollywood writer. Nora saw it all and, with a wicked sense of humor and shrewd intellect, she made it all deliciously funny. Filled with unforgettable lines, this is a celebration of the wit and generosity that made Nora so singular—start at the beginning or flip to any page for instant delight.
