The author's first (semi-autobiographical) novel. Nora Ephron (1941-2012) was an American author, screenwriter, playwright, journalist, film director, and producer. Heartburn (1983) is based on Ephron's marriage to and divorce from her then-husband, Carl Bernstein (b. 1944), an American investigative journalist. The story is about Rachel Samstat, a food writer, who finds out about the extramarital affair between her journalist husband, Mark Feldman, and a socialite, Thelma Rice. Actual recipes are sprinkled throughout the book which has been interpreted as a satire upon food writing and novel-writing itself. Ephron later wrote the screenplay for the 1986 film adaptation of the same name starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson. Throughout her career, Ephron also worked on other high-profile films. She co-wrote the screenplay for Silkwood (1983), wrote the script for When Harry Met Sally... (1989), directed and wrote the screenplays for Sleepless in Seattle (1993) and You've Got Mail (1998), and directed and co-wrote the screenplay for Julie & Julia (2009).. Book. Book Condition: Fine.
