Breaking news has hit the literary world as publisher Simon and Schuster has pulled out of publishing a new book focused on President Joe Biden. That’s right, folks, the White House must be feeling the burn as plans for this tell-all book by Axios national political correspondent Alex Thompson have gone up in smoke.
It seems like books about Biden just can’t catch a break. Sources have revealed that these Biden-themed reads haven’t been flying off the shelves like hotcakes. In fact, it’s been noted that such books have been a bit of a snooze fest compared to those about his predecessor.
Thompson had promised a deep dive into Biden’s presidency, filled with all the juicy deets from his time in the White House. But alas, it looks like the book may not see the light of day with Simon and Schuster. Can you blame them, though? Who wants to read about a president who’s more boring than watching paint dry?
Interestingly, it seems like this isn’t the first time an author has struggled to drum up interest in a book about ol’ Joe. Remember when NBC News correspondent Jonathan Allen tried to make a splash with “Lucky: How Joe Biden Barely Won the Presidency”? Yeah, that book tanked harder than a lead balloon. Seems like readers just aren’t feeling the Biden love.
One publisher even suggested that Biden’s lack of excitement is a big reason why books about him aren’t hitting the mark. I mean, come on, who wants to read about a president who’s as thrilling as watching grass grow?
It’s clear that the publishing world is sending a message: If you want to sell books, maybe steer clear of Sleepy Joe. With lackluster sales and waning interest in Biden-centric books, it’s no wonder authors are having a tough time making a splash in the literary scene. Let’s hope the next book about Biden has a little more pizzazz – or maybe they could just write about Hunter Biden instead.
