Event Details

Join the Detroit Public Library as we present,
An Evening with Leonard Pitts, Jr.
gp

From acclaimed Pulitzer-winning voice Leonard Pitts, Jr. comes a page-turning look at black and white relations in contemporary America—one that blends the poignant and the absurd in a powerful narrative showcasing Pitts’s gift for telling emotionally wrenching stories.
Join us as we celebrate Grant Park, the powerful new novel from Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Leonard Pitts, Jr. Grant Park is an audacious and eloquent take on politics, race, and recent US history, and yet another demonstration that Pitts, beyond his identity as one of America’s most celebrated columnists, has emerged as an important voice in contemporary American fiction.  
Leonard Pitts, Jr. is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the Miami Herald. He is the author of the novels Freeman and Before I Forget, the memoir Becoming Dad, and Forward From This Moment: Selected Columns, 1994–2009, all published by Agate Bolden.  Books will be available for sale and a book-signing will follow the discussion.
Limited parking is available in the employee lot located off of Putnam, between Cass and Woodward, as well as on-street parking.
