SoCal writer and radio commentator Sandra Tsing Loh scores a pair of Times reviews this week for her new Mother on Fire.
From Pamela Paul in The New York Times: “Loh’s ability to write a book about a year in the life of a mom, source material for many a tepid memoir (or “momoir,” sigh), and upgrade it into a — dare I say it? — galvanizing treatise on somber topics like public school education, class and midlife consumerism, all the while eliciting at least one snort of laughter per page, is no less than a feat of genius.”
From Susan Carpenter in the LA Times: “Chock-full of relatable moments — many of them laugh-out-loud funny — “Mother on Fire” is likely to resonate with fellow left-leaning, middle-class, stressed-out moms — particularly those who live in L.A., which is its own special freak show.”
