The
Associated Press on Thursday hyped a new memoir from the troubled son of Joe Biden, insisting that Republicans are making an “ongoing target” of Hunter Biden. The younger Biden is being investigated by the Justice Department over his taxes and connections to China and the Ukraine. But the AP’s Hillel Italie had more important things to discuss. The headline gushed, “
Hunter Biden’s memoir ‘Beautiful Things’ out in April.”
The journalist cheered a blurb from famous novelist Stephen King:
“Beautiful Things” was circulated among several authors and includes advance praise from Stephen King, Dave Eggers and Anne Lamott.
During one of last fall’s presidential debates, Joe Biden defended his son from attacks by Trump.
“My son, like a lot of people, like a lot of people you know at home, had a drug problem,” the Democratic candidate said. “He’s overtaken it. He’s fixed it. He’s worked on it, and I’m proud of him. I’m proud of my son.”
Hunter Biden, who turned 51 Thursday, is the oldest surviving child of the president, who lost his first wife and 1-year-old daughter, Naomi, in a 1972 car accident, and son Beau Biden to brain cancer in 2015. The title of Hunter’s book refers to an expression he and his brother would use with each other after Beau’s diagnosis, meant to emphasize what was important in life.

NEW YORK (AP) Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden and an ongoing target for conservatives, has a memoir coming out April 6.
The book is called “Beautiful Things” and will center on the younger Biden’s well publicized struggles with substance abuse, according to Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. Acquired in the fall of 2019, “Beautiful Things” was kept under wraps even as Biden’s business dealings became a fixation of then-President Donald Trump and others during the election and his finances a matter of investigation by the Justice Department.
Hunter Biden to Release Book ‘Beautiful Things’
President Joe Biden’s son Hunter will chronicle his personal struggle in the upcoming memoir “Beautiful Things,” according to his publisher.
The book will center on the younger Biden’s well-publicized struggles with substance abuse, said Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. The book is slated to come out on April 6.
“In his harrowing and compulsively readable memoir, Hunter Biden proves again that anybody even the son of a United States President can take a ride on the pink horse down nightmare alley,” author Stephen King wrote for the book. “Biden remembers it all and tells it all with a bravery that is both heartbreaking and quite gorgeous. He starts with a question: Where’s Hunter? The answer is he’s in this book, the good, the bad, and the beautiful.”
