Columbia's own Jenny Boully has been nominated for the Essay Prize, an award "given each year to the work that best exemplifies the art of essaying—inquiry, experimentation, discovery, and change—the Essay Prize emphasizes the activity of a text, rather than its status as a dispensary of information."
Boully's nominated work, entitled A Short Essay on Being, stands against the work of other nominees including once-Columbia guest David Shields, Jonathan Safran Foer, and Rebecca Solnit.
