A 24-Hour Warning
It's my job to spoil plots...
One of the biggest novels of the ’80s was Heartburn by Nora Ephron. It was so ubiquitous that my college professors read excerpts aloud to us as lectures in how to write.
Tomorrow I’m going to explore how the book works, and how it hides its mechanics. It is a wonderful book. You’ve got twenty-four hours to read it, or not.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
A 24-Hour Warning
I’m not a bad reader, but I ain’t THAT good either. I’ll have to accept the spoilers for a good lesson.
Trust me. It's a very fast read. The movie... I can't recommend.
