“American Canto,” I will literally never get over this title

Sing, O Muse, of the sexting of Nuzzi,
Accursed, which brought many measles epidemics and colloidal silver poisonings upon the Americans,
Hurling their country into absolute shit

I don’t think any of us are fully prepared for the level of self-pity and absolution that’s going to be in Olivia Nuzzi’s (hilariously titled) “American Canto”
American Canto is also a powerful personal history. Nuzzi's account of growing up in working-class New Jersey as the child of alcoholics in the shadow of New York City and 9/11 is raw and moving. Her mother was angry, beautiful, and unpredictable. Her father, a loving man who supported his family as a sanitation worker, removed debris from Ground Zero. They both died young. A version of Nuzzi did, too. She approached this "kind of death" with the critical distance of a reporter. When interrogating her own mistakes, Nuzzi confesses, "I had trained my whole life in the battlefield of crisis."
