Eula Biss Wins Prestigious National Book Critics Circle Award
Jeffrey Shotts, senior editor at Graywolf Press, was thrilled with the news. "The NBCC Awards are one of the majors," he said. "It's gratifying to have an award come out of such a large and distinguished body of critics and writers and serious people about the art and craft of literature. We couldn't be prouder of Eula Biss." Notes from No Man's Land: American Essays was named a best book of the year by Time Out Chicago and a School Library Journal Best Adult Book for High School Students. Biss's spare, sometimes lyric essays explore the legacy of race in America, artfully revealing in intimate detail how families, schools, and neighborhoods participate in preserving racial privilege. National Public Radio called the collection "forceful, beautiful essays," and the Chicago Tribune said "Biss is telling us the story of our country--one we never saw coming." The book won the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize. Read more... more news...
