Renowned author Craig Shirley, known for his hit Reagan biographies, is already hard at work on his latest masterpiece, slated for release after the upcoming fall election. With the working title “Comeback,” Shirley’s new book aims to set the record straight, correcting the biased accounts of Trump’s presidency and portraying a vivid and accurate portrayal of the man himself, the movement he spearheads, and his remarkable resurgence following the 2020 election defeat to President Joe Biden.
In an exclusive statement, Shirley emphasized the necessity of his “Comeback” book, highlighting its pivotal role in rectifying the missteps of previous anti-Trump authors. He boldly declared that his forthcoming work would challenge the establishment’s narrative, offering a refreshing and contrarian perspective that defies the prevailing elite discourse.
While a publishing deal has yet to be finalized, industry insiders anticipate a fierce bidding war for Shirley’s book post-election, buoyed by the enduring popularity and unwavering support for Trump.
Shirley’s announcement comes on the heels of a significant setback for a new book centered on President Biden, as mega publisher Simon & Schuster withdrew a previously planned publication amid lackluster reader interest. The decision to cancel the Biden book reflects a broader trend, with recent literary endeavors focusing on the Bidens failing to resonate with the public, departing from the longstanding tradition of best-selling books centered on sitting presidents.
Shirley minced no words in expressing his lack of surprise at the apparent disinterest in books centered on President Biden and his family, asserting that the current occupant of the White House lacks appeal beyond his core supporters. With his trademark candor, Shirley’s remarks underscore the uphill battle faced by authors seeking to generate enthusiasm for works centered on the current administration.
