Oh, Florida!
According to The New York Times, Pittman's 2016 book, Oh, Florida! How America's Weirdest State Influences the Rest of the Country, is a "compulsively readable," native son's view of the state he "obviously loves," in which he makes a persuasive case that Florida has an outsize influence on the national culture, without offering an explanation of why this is so.[1] The book grew out of a series or articles Pittman wrote for Slate (magazine).[2]
