Marie told Richard Prince’s Journal-isms she’ll be “looking for a fellowship position (or some such like) at a university and writing a book about Simón Bolívar.” Her second novel (and 4th book), titled “Lima Nights,” comes out in January. “I’ll be writing, rather than editing, in the future,” says Marie.
Before joining the Post in 1992, Marie worked for Simon & Schuster, where she was VP and senior editor in the general book division for four years.
A native of Peru, Marie created and led programs on Latin American literature for the Kennedy Center, the Organization of American States, the Inter-American Development Bank and the Library of Congress.
