The Unspeakable

In March of 1998, a troubled employee of the Connecticut Lottery Corporation returned to the workplace after a long medical leave. He killed four executives before turning the gun on himself. Otho R. Brown, the husband of author Denise Brown, was one of those lost that day. The Unspeakable does not focus on the crime itself, but rather depicts the difficult year that followed. It is a journey through the complicated grief that accompanies a violent death, and culminates with the Brown family settling into a new life in northern Vermont. Available on-line at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, through Associated University Presses, and also at Green Mountain Books in Lyndonville, VT.

“Denise Brown’s shattering memoir of workplace violence vividly exposes the human reality beneath the newspaper headlines. The Unspeakable is the work of a courageous, honest, and deeply thoughtful writer.” ---Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children and Election
