</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Yesterday's LA Times book review featured TWO reviews by UCR Creative Writing faculty -- Laila Lalami and Palm Desert's Tod Goldberg.<BR>
<BR>
As usual, the Times couldn't be bothered to ID them as UCR people, but congrats to Laila and Tod -- and to Susan Straight, who had the lead review the weekend before!<BR>
