Author Talk: Marisa Kashino — Best Offer Wins: A Novel - with Rachel Kurzius

Author Marisa Kashino discusses their book "Best Offer Wins" at Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C.

An insanely competitive housing market. A desperate buyer on the edge. In Marisa Kashino’s darkly humorous debut novel, Best Offer Wins, the white picket fence becomes the ultimate symbol of success—and obsession. How far would you go for the house of your dreams?

Marisa Kashino was a journalist for 17 years, most recently at The Washington Post. She spent the bulk of her career at Washingtonian magazine, writing long-form features and overseeing the real estate and home design coverage. She grew up near Seattle, graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in journalism and political science. She lives in the DC area with her husband, two dogs, and two cats. Best Offer Wins is her first novel.

Kashino is in conversation with Rachel Kurzius, a features reporter who covers homes and how people interact in them. She also writes about books and discusses them on NPR. She won the Edward R. Murrow Award for Investigative Reporting and was a finalist for the Society of Professional Journalists’ D.C. Dateline Awards. For two lovely years, she was fortunate to have Marisa Kashino as her editor at the Washington Post.
