Chris Erskine is the master of domestic dramedy.


For three decades in the Los Angeles Times, Erskine's columns explored modern fatherhood and family life, from the absurd to the mundane, the sublime to the heartbreaking. Now, with Lavender in Your Lemonade: A Funny and Touching COVID Diary, he tackles the New Normal with his chronicle of daily life under the frustrating, terrifying, and sometimes antic strictures of a world-wide pandemic.


No, it's not funny. And yet somehow, in Erskine's hands, it is.


Or at least it feels more tolerable.


With elegant prose and an eye for telling detail, Erskine draws simple truths from the infinite complexities of the human condition, eight hundred words at a time. In the great tradition of Erma Bombeck, Mike Royko, Dave Barry, and Bob Greene, Erskine shows us ourselves in a funhouse mirror.

Erskine, Chris: - Chris Erskine has been chronicling life in Los Angeles for more than 30 years. As a columnist and staffer for the Los Angeles Times, he wrote for the sports, travel, entertainment, and lifestyle sections. Best known for his characterizations of suburban family life, he is the author of three other books of essays: Surviving Suburbia, Man of the House and Daditude. The Chicago native has also worked for papers in Miami and New Orleans. He is aggressive in all pursuits, yet successful in few and consciously makes a point of remembering only the past 48 hours of his life. The only things he trusts are church ladies, children and dogs -- and he's not so sure about the church ladies. He once scored 5 points against the Harlem Globetrotters, all in the first half. In the second half, they pants'ed him.
