Sandra Loh is one of my favorite authors. Here are some newspaper stories on her.

As American as Chinese Strudel

The Multi-Cult Semi Celeb

 

 

What others have to say about her:

A smart, sassy woman who's not afraid to show it, Sandra Tsing Loh chronicles California's San Fernando Valley, the "other" Los Angeles, for Buzz magazine. In this collection of her essays, she pays homage to "the futon dwellers," skillfully dissects bohemian life in L.A., and makes some outrageously incisive comments about dating. Her essays are very funny, and, best of all, Loh is a diligent reporter. She gives you the facts, screwy as they may be, as she details lovingly the Los Angeles that she admits is "America's cultural scapegoat."

Sandra Tsing Loh is a master of the excruciating moment. She is very, very funny, her eye is appropriately jaundiced, and she has a real gift for showing us just how stupid our stupid lives really are. I wept with laughter.

 

Mark Salzman
If Oscar Wilde could be brought back to life and persuaded to visit Los Angeles with Hunter Thompson as his guide, one wonders if even he could do satiric justice to the place ... the way Sandra Tsing Loh has ... Even her acknowledgments left me begging for mercy; don't read this book in a place where you are expected to keep quiet.
