My Take
Mary Brunner is a figure I approach with unease rather than admiration. The arc from a Wisconsin librarian and university graduate to a member of the Manson Family present at the Hinman murder is genuinely chilling, precisely because it began so ordinarily. What interests me is less the crime than the question it raises: how a person drawn to books and quiet order ends up swept into something so dark. I do not romanticize any of it, but her story is a sobering study in how environment and bad company can reroute a life. It stays with you.
