Description
I blush to reveal this title which is a parody of Nora Ephron’s 2008 book, I Feel Bad About My Neck. After the death of Ms. Ephron, it was not appropriate to publish a take-off of her book, but twelve years later is the right time. While Nora Ephron’s book lamented the age-related problems of the woman, Mr. Ponicsan’s book is from an older gentleman’s point of view. Broader than that, the book is a collection of the author’s random and hilarious thoughts about the movie business, the Watts’ riots, and the life of a Hollywood writer. The author has a number of novels and film credits, among them Cinderella Liberty and The Last Detail. As one might suspect, this book is laugh-out-loud funny, particularly for one who knows a bit about movie business hierarchies. Not limited to his screenwriting experiences, however, the author muses on his father’s perspectives vis a vis his own, women’s unnecessary grooming, his color blindness and its ramifications, and the Women’s Day Cookbook (don’t we all have them?). This is an enjoyable and frivolous book, and that is this reader’s prescription for the current times. This book will make you laugh a little or a lot.
