Human Observer

In the foreword for his new collection of columns, Leonard Pitts, Jr. writes that he finds it difficult to describe what his twice-weekly column for the "Miami Herald" is about. The best he can offer is a line that he once saw in promotional material that said his column is about "the politics of the human condition." It's actually a fitting description. There is no rhyme or reason to the topics that the Pulitzer Prize winning syndicated columnist tackles. In"Forward from this Moment: Selected Columns, 1994-2009,"it's made clear that Pitts writes about anything and everything that attracts him--offering an honest take on a host of issues including feminism, racism, plagiarism, gangsta rap, fatherhood, Barbie, and Thomas Jefferson.
