Olivia Nuzzi reviews
Beautiful Things by Hunter Biden.
A member of the First Family publishing a book is not without recent precedent: Ivanka Trump released
Women Who Work, a frilly ode to Girl Boss capitalism, in 2017, and her brother Donald Trump Jr. later published
Triggered, a rant about woke dogma, and
Liberal Privilege, a screed against Joe Biden. But that was just shallow marketing literature designed to promote the Trump brand. In 2021, on the other hand, a genuine gut-spiller from the First Fuckup, detailing in his own words all the major personal issues the right-wing media has tried and failed to weaponize for years that had the potential to derail a presidency. Yet Hunter Bidens ballad of the black sheep landed quietly in Washington.
Said one senior White House official: Im shocked. I get stuff on the dogs all the time. Ive been so surprised I didnt get anything on Hunter.
Whether they had braced for a media frenzy or not, members of the Joe Biden administration report that, internally, the arrival of Hunters book (which was ghostwritten by the journalist Drew Jubera) on April 6 was a big non-event.
