Crown Publishing won’t be promoting or reprinting New York governor Andrew Cuomo’s book about his pandemic leadership, according to the New York Times.
A spokesperson for the publishing company told the Times there are “no plans” to reprint “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the Covid-19 Pandemic,” nor release it in paperback. The spokesperson pointed to “the ongoing investigation into N.Y.S. reporting of COVID-related fatalities in nursing homes.”
Representatives for the company did not immediately return a request for comment from TheWrap.
In recent weeks, Cuomo — who was praised at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic for his frequent and transparent briefings and released his book seven months into the crisis — has faced mounting criticism for not only his handling of nursing homes in his state during the pandemic, but for allegedly sexually harassing multiple women, including former aides.
