Depth Takes a Holiday Author: In this hilarious collection, "Buzz" magazine columnist Sandra Tsing Loh reveals the truth about life in L.A. While her subjects range from nightmare time-shares in Dana Point to the horror of being the Woman's Day speaker at Venice High, Loh is especially attuned to the difference in L.A.'s constantly shifting class structure

From the back cover-
"Loh's wide-eyed disappointment and flair for the telling detail propel these essays along in high style...While her subjects range from nightmare time-shares in Dana Point to the horror of being the Woman's Day speaker at Venice High, Loh is especially attuned to the difference in LA's constantly shifting class structure....This keen awareness of being stuck in a demographic Parking Lot C provides many of the real delights in these essays. Nowhere is Loh better than in deflating the pretensions of the LA cultural scene. It's about time that someone took on the periphery of LA with such wicked delight, because-face it-in this town, the periphery's the real heart of the city." -LA TIMES BOOK REVIEW
