54 MILES is the newest novel from Pulitzer Prize–winning Leonard Pitts, Jr. Set in the fateful weeks of March 1965, 54 MILES tells the story of an uncle and a nephew forced to grapple with the violence committed against their family decades ago, while deciding how to face a new flashpoint in American history. Pitts’s emotionally wrenching and meticulously researched novel is a stark study of race and violence in 1960s America, examining the alternate paths we take against injustice and the struggle to hold America accountable to what it promised to be.

🥳 Happy official publication day to WORKING IN THE 21ST CENTURY! 🎉
Featured by the “Chicago Review of Books” as one of the most anticipated books of February 2024, WORKING IN THE 21ST CENTURY is an intimate, honest, and illuminating collection of interviews that reveal the lives of workers in America—from nurses and teachers to wildland firefighters and funeral directors—at this historic and volatile moment in time. Author and oral historian Mark Larson sat down with more than one hundred workers from a multitude of backgrounds as they shared their experiences with work and reflected on the impact it’s had on them, their families and their communities. WORKING IN THE 21ST CENTURY asks why we show up, or don’t, to the jobs we’ve chosen, and how the upheaval of the past few years has changed how we perceive the work we do.
