West bests East for creative story

I just moved to Beverly Hills from New Jersey and my landlord left me the Sunday edition of the L.A. Times. I read Hugo Martín’s articles “All Aboard” [Sept. 9] and I must say he’s a talented writer. Fantastic imagery: “tiny grains crunch between my teeth.”

As a writer myself, I can say that I enjoyed his article more than anything I’ve read in the New York Times.
