Le Moyne College Calendar

Eula Biss is the author of three books: On Immunity: An Inoculation (a finalist for the National Book Critic Circle Award for nonfiction); Notes from No Man’s Land: American Essays (winner of the National Book Critic Circle Award for criticism), and a collection of poetry, The Balloonists.

Notes From No Man’s Land is a frank and fascinating exploration of race and racial identity that Salon called “the most accomplished book of essays anyone has written or published so far in the 21st century.” On Immunity is a moving account of how we are all interconnected—our bodies and our fates.

Biss’s work has been supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Howard Foundation Fellowship, an NEA Literature Fellowship, and a Jaffee Writers’ Award. She holds a M.F.A. in nonfiction writing from the University of Iowa.
