Scaachi Koul
NPR's Best Books of the Year
With a sharp eye and biting wit, incomparable rising star and cultural observer Scaachi Koul offers a hilarious, scathing and honest look at modern life.
It’s stunning how well Koul can alternate between self-deprecating, eye-opening and heartbreaking [in this collection], or when she just does all three at the same time." — Vulture
"[Koul's] collection of thoughtful, funny essays made me think of Nora Ephron's effortless voice." —The Seattle Times

Nora Ephron

Nora Ephron at her funniest, wisest and best, taking a hilarious look at the past and bemoaning the vicissitudes of modern life. Filled with insights and observations that instantly ring true, I Remember Nothing is a delightful, poignant gift from one of our finest writers.
"Fabulous... masterly... dazzle[s] you with strings of perfect prose.” – Washington Post
“Breathlessly funny ... chatty, witty, self-effacing and candid.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune
