Person
Edie Jarolim has worn many hats -- not counting the sombrero she donned on a certain one-margarita-too-many night. She has a Ph.D. in American literature from New York University and was a senior editor at Frommer's travel guides in New York before being lured by the warm sun and endless vistas -- not to mention the inexpensive real estate -- to Tucson, Arizona, in 1992. She has since written about the Southwest and Mexico for a variety of national publications, ranging from Art & Antiques and Brides to National Geographic Traveler, The New York Times Book Review, and the Wall Street Journal, and is a frequent contributor to Tucson Guide Quarterly and Tucson Home. She is also the author of Frommer's San Antonio & Austin.
