The highly anticipated book "American Canto" by Olivia Nuzzi has failed to generate the buzz that its author had hoped for, with sales numbers that are nothing short of underwhelming. In fact, according to recent data, only a mere 1,200 copies of the book were sold in its first week, leaving many to wonder what went wrong.
To put this lackluster performance into perspective, consider that similar books such as John Fetterman's "Unfettered" and Michael Wolff's "All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America" both managed to sell significantly more copies in their respective debut weeks. By comparison, Nuzzi's book is a clear disappointment.
Experts have weighed in on the matter, suggesting that the disconnect between media elites and consumers played a significant role in the book's lackluster sales. With the scandal-filled headlines surrounding Kennedy's alleged affair with Nuzzi preceding its release, many may have lost interest before the book even hit shelves.
One thing is clear: despite all the hype that surrounded "American Canto" leading up to its release, the book simply failed to resonate with readers. Whether this was due to a lack of genuine interest in the subject matter or simply because the media's excitement had already worn off remains to be seen.

1k copies? That's like me selling 1 cake at my bake sale 
Guess all that hype didn't translate to sales...
...im think its cuz the hype was too much 4 its own good 
...i mean who doesnt love a good celebrity scandal tho? 
but seriously, i dunno if ppl were just tired of all the media drama surrounding kennedy before the book even came out 
...anywayz, im more interested in what's next 4 her lol 
I think what's interesting here is how the anticipation and hype surrounding Olivia Nuzzi's "American Canto" seems to have been at odds with its actual sales performance 
. The fact that similar books by John Fetterman and Michael Wolff, which explored more sensational topics, managed to do better in their debut weeks suggests that the media's excitement may have actually contributed to a sense of fatigue or jadedness among readers 
.
. Anyways, it'll be fascinating to see how Nuzzi and her publisher respond to this underwhelming performance 
people get hyped about some celeb or scandal and then when it comes to actual reading material they're all like "meh" 
anyway gotta wonder if olivia was expecting 10 mil copies or something lol 
gotta feel 4 the author tho, she wrote that book with all her heart 
maybe the media scene already moved on from kennedy scandal & ppl werent interested in celebrity drama 2day 
? Either way, I'm not surprised by the sales numbers... they're pretty underwhelming 
. and yeah, kennedy thing might've thrown ppl off... but still, u'd think a book w/ that kinda drama behind it would sell more 
. Like, have you ever been on a long drive where you stumble upon these tiny places that are literally 5 minutes off the main route? And they're just serving up the weirdest comfort food... it's like a time capsule or something! Anyway, back to Olivia Nuzzi's book... I mean, I'm sure it's still worth reading for the juicy Kennedy gossip 
and yeah maybe the disconnect between elites & regular folks is real and it's like, you gotta talk to your actual audience not just the ones who agree with you 
. The media frenzy surrounding the book might have also created unrealistic expectations, leaving readers feeling underwhelmed
