The grief is nightmarish, but the love that suffuses the text is even more powerful—the love for family and a lost child, as well as a love for a fragile democracy. It takes its greatest inspiration from the idealism of Raskin’s son.” -- David Remnick, <em>The New Yorker</em><br> <br> “[Congressman Raskin] is, in addition to everything else, a really good writer. The blow-by-blow of January 6 is riveting. The passages about his son, and his own pain, are sometimes searing.” -- New Republic<br> <br> “[In <em>Unthinkable</em>] Congressman Jamie Raskin, D-Md., is on a journey — moving through layers of excruciating trauma and grief…The journey to make sense of Tommy's death and honor his life has added a new fuel for Raskin to right the wrongs of the Jan. 6 attack.” -- NPR</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support</a>
