Caltech’s Behind the Book series presents Caltech alum Sandra Tsing Loh, author of “The Mad Woman in a Volvo,” in conversation with Samantha Dunn.
A writer for The New York Times called Sandra Tsing Loh “perpetual darling of the ever-beleaguered Los Angeles intelligentsia and constant candidate for that publishers’ holy grail, the female David Sedaris.”
A comic exploration of a year in the life of an “imaginatively twisted and fearless” best-selling author, according to the Los Angeles Times, Sandra Tsing Loh’s new book, “The Madwoman and the Roomba” chronicles a roller coaster year for Loh, her unmarried partner, and her two teenaged daughters in their ramshackle quasi-Craftsman in Pasadena, an experimental stone’s throw away from Caltech.
At 60, Loh feels she should be enjoying a Boomer retirement – that’s running with a surfboard and coiffed silver hair towards the Pacific waters of a sagely invested growth fund.
Samantha Dunn, is Bookish Co-Host and Senior Editor of Engagement for the Southern California News Group. There’s a Q&A and book signing afterwards.
