Eula Biss writes essays about health, race, motherhood, fear and the systems through which people understand risk. On Immunity combines personal experience of becoming a parent with cultural history and research on vaccination, contagion and public trust. Notes from No Man's Land examines race and American life through essays on neighbourhoods, history and language, while Having and Being Had turns to money, ownership and middle-class discomfort.
