"Former Washington correspondent for New York magazine, Nuzzi knows what readers want from her: the story of her baffling affair with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and ugly breakup with her fellow journalist Ryan Lizza. She writes that when her boss at New York found out about her relationship with Kennedy, whom she'd profiled for the magazine, she was given the option to save her career by coming clean publicly. Tell all, she writes. Spare no detail, spare my job and my life as it was."
"Interspersed with Nuzzi's stream-of-consciousness musings are facts about drone strikes, gun deaths and wildfires; long chunks of Q&A dialogue, including with Donald Trump; a court document detailing the assault on Nancy Pelosi's husband; an FBI report on the man who wrote the children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon; and quotes from figures including Friedrich Nietzsche, Carl Jung and Jane Birkin."
A former Washington correspondent recounts a baffling affair with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and an ugly breakup with fellow journalist Ryan Lizza. She says a New York magazine editor offered a chance to save her career by going public about the relationship, but she declined. The narrative merges stream-of-consciousness musings with sharp factual interjections about drone strikes, gun deaths and wildfires, and includes Q&A exchanges, court documents, an FBI report and quotations from Nietzsche, Jung and Jane Birkin. The tone is pretentious yet audacious, appearing to prioritize mystique and artistic reinvention over clear political disclosure, frustrating politically minded readers.
