Marie Arana Leaves Washington Post
by admin | May-23-2008
Marie Arana, longtime NBCC member and editor of the Washington Post Book World, has accepted a buyout and will be stepping down. Journal-isms quotes Arana saying, “The Post has asked me to accept a contract to write for them after I leave my position on Dec. 31, which I will do. I’ll be looking for a fellowship position (or some such like) at a university and writing a book about Simon Bolivar ... My second novel (4th book) comes out in January. I’ll be writing, rather than editing, in the future.” We wish her all the best—the world of criticism will miss her. For a thumbnail account of her career click here (and scroll down).
