If I like Nora Ephron

[AnnaChronism]

I tend to listen to Audible books, rather than read books at the moment.

I discovered Nora Ephron, although some of her journalistic writing is dated I really like her style of writing, the combination of humour and candour.

Can anyone recommend another author (written or audiobooks) I might like?

David Sedaris is very good. I love his books.

Me too Mermaid ! I've read and listened to every David Sedaris I could get my hands on and seen him live. He's a firm favourite of mine.

I also like Jon Ronson and Mark Thomas too.

I think I'm going to try Stuart Maconie next but if you have any other suggestions I'd be grateful.

Bill Bryson, perhaps? Or Sue Perkins's autobiography Spectacles.

Try her sister Delia, I have just discovered her writing and I believe there was some collaboration somewhere along the line: "Siracusa" - plus on this link there is an author QA www.tripfiction.com/novel-set-in-rome-and-syracuse/

Yes, I'd forgotten Delia also wrote . I've read Hanging Up (which I seem to remember was quite amusing), but no others.

Delia Ephron? I'll take a look, thank you.

Dorothy Parker? Even more dated but still funny and wry classic journalism.

I really enjoyed Where'd you Go Bernadette? Recently - it's a novel and not really the same at all but from funny and unusual female perspective about career, relationships and navigating modern life.

Also if you liked the foodie aspects of Nora Ephron's writing, I've just finished The Pedant in the Kitchen by Julian Barnes, which was very well written and amusing on recipes and cooking.

Dorothy Parker is a great suggestion Satsuki thank you.

I've listened to Where'd You Go Bernadette? And I liked that too.

I also liked Domestic Violets by Matthew Norman too.

Dorothy Parker can be great, but the more you read, the more it seems like an accumulation of grim unhappiness.

You might like Michael Pollan, I particularly loved A Place of my Own about building a writing room in his garden.
