Mere weeks after Luke Russert, the only child of journalists Maureen Orth of Vanity Fair and Tim Russert of NBC News, graduated from Boston College in 2008, Tim Russert died unexpectedly. In a new memoir, Look for Me There: Grieving My Father, Finding Myself (Harper Horizon, 2023), Luke Russert writes about his exploration to find himself and his place in the world in the face of crushing expectations and grief. After his father’s death, Russert worked at NBC News, covering politics. But, he realized he had no good answer as to why he was chasing his father’s legacy. He left the network to set out on his own path. What began as several open-ended months of travel to decompress and reassess morphed into a three-plus-year odyssey across six continents to discover the world and, ultimately, to find himself. Look for Me There is both the vivid narrative of that journey and the emotional story of a young man taking charge of his life, reexamining his relationship with his parents, and finally grieving his larger-than-life father.
