"If you have a favourite part of RFK Jr's chest, or consider chests in general subject to preference by localised area, this may be the book for you. As mockery in the press rose to a shriek on Monday, so Nuzzi's defenders started to rally. Monica Lewinsky, who along with Amanda Knox has become the most ubiquitous figure of our age, reached out to Nuzzi to offer sympathy."
"Lisa Taddeo, author of Three Women, praised Nuzzi for writing what she called on Instagram a scintillating love story and posted a sentence seemingly caught in the undertow effect of reading Nuzzi at length. (From Taddeo: All across the internet little boys and girls are wielding poison darts they didn't even check the constitution of before lobbing in the direction of somebody who has achieved enough intrigue and intelligence in their life and )"
Olivia Nuzzi published American Canto, a hastily produced memoir recounting romantic feelings for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The memoir contains explicit, admiring passages and focused, at times playful, attention on Kennedy's chest. The book prompted swift public mockery alongside vocal defenses from figures such as Monica Lewinsky and Lisa Taddeo. The book's production reflected pressure from a tight deadline and the destabilizing effect of a book contract, producing long, feverish sentences and paragraph-long flights of prose. Media outlets monitored sales and reactions, and the reception mixed ridicule, sympathy, and debate about journalistic judgment and disclosure. The memoir mixes curiosity, embarrassment, and attempts at dignity.
