Writing in today's CityBeat, Catherine Seipp gives the recent best-selling novel by famously ex-LAT writer Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez a read and likes it. She also revisits the much-chronicled flameout of Valdes-Rodriguez' career at the Times and sounds some sympathetic notes, acknowledging what is often overlooked: the woman is talented.
The aforementioned rants and letters are archived here. By the way, Seipp has also taped a commentary on the new TV show "The O.C." for Day to Day on National Public Radio.
Hack, speaking of curing insomnia, you're putting me to sleep. It's time to get a new line. We hear ya, you don't like the Times. We got it the first 10 or 20 times. Consider it stipulated. Say something more original and put a real name to it, you might get some actual discussion going.

Mebbe she was too interesting to work at the LA Times. Ya know how attached they are to curing their readers insomnia.
