Kendi’s How to Be an Antiracist, which has been a consistent bestseller for more than seven months. Just outside the top ten nonfiction books, at numbers eleven and twelve, are Mary Trump’s unflattering portrait of her family, Too Much and Never Enough, and Ibram X. This week, Bob Woodward’s Rage, which follows the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, nabbed the number one spot. In August, the Republican National Committee spent more than $400,000 on “donor mementos,” more than a quarter of which went toward purchases of Hannity’s Live Free or Die.
