Kirkus Review (Starred review)
“A Homeric catalog, in numbered lists, of all the wrongs the current occupant of the White House has done unto the republic. An astonishing roster, documenting history as it is being made and democracy as it is being unmade.” Whether it’s detailing an 18-point list in Week 2 chronicling the influx of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election or Week 15 where neo fascists were so emboldened as to desecrate Jewish cemeteries, The List reads as a chilling play-by-play as Trump’s first year unfolds.
