Chris' film and book reviews were regular for The LA Times County Edition and the LA Levantine Cultural Center Newsletter through 2015.Dedicated to expanding the voices of the least understood, Cryer's textbook rages against distaste for commas, and her Saudi book unveils the little-known gentility of Saudi men. In A True Love Story from South Central, she takes up the voice of now-deceased Candy Grosz to continue to press for relationship rights for those who need to put culture last and love first.visualizza meno
