The New York Times reviews American Canto by Olivia Nuzzi, which is being published amid a scandal over the author’s alleged romantic entanglements with politicians she covered.
“To paraphrase Britney Spears, a pop-culture touchstone for the author and fellow blond millennial: It’s not a tell-all, not yet a memoir. Chapterless and scattershot, it’s an attempted letter from Trump’s America in the style of a would-be Joan Didion…”
“Wafting and unfocused in a manner that makes you long for the sweet relief of a detailed policy paper, American Canto offers many scenes — a flag factory staffed by immigrants, an open highway, the Oval Office — but little sense.”
