À propos de cet audio

Grant Park begins in 1968, with Martin Luther King's final days in Memphis. The story then moves to the eve of the 2008 election and cuts between the two eras as it unfolds.

Disillusioned columnist Malcolm Toussaint, fueled by yet another report of unarmed black men killed by police, hacks into his newspaper's server to post an incendiary column that had been rejected by his editors. Toussaint then disappears, and his longtime editor, Bob Carson, is summarily fired within hours of the column's publication. While a furious Carson tries to find Toussaint - at the same time dealing with the reappearance of a lost love from his days as a '60s activist - Toussaint is abducted by two improbable but still dangerous white supremacists plotting to explode a bomb at Obama's planned rally in Grant Park. Toussaint and Carson are forced to remember the choices they made as idealistic, impatient young men, when both their lives were changed profoundly by their work in the civil rights movement.

I wish I was a good enough writer to do justice to this book in my review. This was the most incredible book that I have read/listened to since Cutting for Stone many years ago. Leonard Pitts Jr transported me in time and place back to the civil rights era, as well as Obama's campaign. There were times when I almost raised my fist in the air as I walked to work listening to this novel. And I can't say enough good things about the narrator Ron Butler. Wow, he brought the story even more to life than I thought possible. Highly recommend.
