Biography
[edit | edit source]Herman received a B.S. from Brooklyn College and an M.F.A. from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, after which she was a James Michener Fellow. She taught from 1988 until 2022 at the Ohio State University, where she was a founder of both the M.F.A. Program in Creative Writing and an interdisciplinary graduate program in the arts.
She has received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and many grants from the Ohio Arts Council and Greater Columbus Arts Council in addition to her James Michener Fellowship.[3]
In addition to her novels, she has published a collection of short fiction, A New and Glorious Life.[4] "Auslander," which appears in the collection was also included in American Jewish Fiction: A Century of Stories by Gerald Shapiro[5] and other anthologies.
She has published three essay collections, the autobiographical The Middle of Everything, and two volumes of personal essays, Stories We Tell Ourselves [6][7] and Like A Song. A new essay collection is forthcoming from Galileo Press.

Roberta Maierhofer viewed Herman's novel Missing as a literary gerontology example of the process of redefining one's self in advancing age.[8]
