Book Reviews of Depth Takes a Holiday
Book Review: A Comical View Towards LA's Changing Culture
Summary: 4 Stars
Sandra Tsing Loh's collection of essays called Depth Takes a Holiday is, ironically, an in-depth journey of common, every day life with Loh as our driver. A native of Los Angeles, Loh depicts the many social changes of this vast urban wasteland known as home to millions of other Los Angelinos. The reader gets a better, if not comical, idea of what is going on and where LA and it's inhabitants are from and where they are going. LA is demonstrated as an ever-growing melting pot, both culturally and socially, with its residents who are a people of a lost identity in both aspects. One of the many things I love about this book is Loh's lighthearted approach which shows readers the serious effects of living in a multi-cultural environment where English-only rules dominate. Anyone who resides in LA and feels the need to laugh at its harsh realities will enjoy this book. I did.Melanie Ulloa Cal State LA, Liberal Studies Major July 21, 1999
