Categories: Biographies & Memoirs, Politics & Social Sciences

Olivia Nuzzi's 2025 memoir looks back on a decade of covering Donald Trump and American politics, most of it as Washington correspondent for New York magazine. Written in California after a 2024 scandal over her relationship with a political figure cost her that job, the book moves between past and present. It weaves together her encounters with Trump, her working-class New Jersey childhood as the daughter of alcoholic parents, and reflections on surveillance, political violence and a fractured national reality.
