Marie Brenner's brother, Carl--yin to her yang, red state to her blue state--lived ... (more)in Texas and in the apple country of Washington state, cultivating his orchards, polishing his guns, and (no doubt causing their grandfather Isidor to turn in his grave) attending church, while Marie, a world-class journalist and bestselling author, led a sophisticated life among the "New York libs" her brother loathed.

Riverwalk Books is happy to welcome back Marie Brenner to the Lake Chelan Valley!

Marie Brenner is a writer-at-large for Vanity Fair. Her exposé of the tobacco industry "The Man Who Knew Too Much" was the basis for the 1999 movie The Insider. She is also the author of What I Learned from ... (more)Older Women.
