A collection of Sydney Harris's syndicated newspaper column "Strictly Personal," from the Chicago Daily News & Chicago Sun-Times, chosen from 30 years of writing. Columns are short and range from advice to politics. The back cover quotes Studs Terkel in the Chicago Sun-Times, saying, "Fortunately for our sense of balance, Sydney J. Harris is around, reminding us of human possibilities not yet tapped . . . Pick up this book. It's good for out-loud reading, and therapeutic at the same time." Harris went to high school with Saul Bellow, possibly at Tuley High School, where Saul Bellow is documented as having graduated from; the building is now Tuley Middle School, and the high school was moved to Clemente.

Published to coincide with a two-part exhibition presented in 2008 at the Van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands and at the University of Chicago's Smart Museum of Art, Heartland offers an idiosyncratic look at innovative forms of cultural production taking place across the vast majority of the United States. This book is part exhibition catalog, part critical reader: contributors explore the region through topics ranging from art and music to urban farming and political history. Through an engaging mix of essays, personal meditations, and images, Heartland challenges understandings of place and community and explores the rule of contemporary art in shaping our changing world. --from book jacket
