Two Opinion Columnists Discuss Melania Trump’s Memoir

Pamela Paul and Carlos Lozada delve into the intriguing facets of Melania Trump’s recent memoir, aptly titled “Melania.” In a series of visually striking yet enigmatic promotional videos, the former first lady expressed her intent to share her perspective, insisting, “I want to share my perspective: the truth.” But what does this self-proclaimed memoir truly reveal about the often enigmatic figure of Melania Trump? Columnists Carlos Lozada and Pamela Paul engage in a thoughtful discussion about the insights they gleaned — and the many questions that remain unanswered — from her literary endeavor.

Carlos Lozada: Hi, I’m Carlos Lozada, a New York Times Opinion columnist and co-host of the “Matter of Opinion” podcast. I’m thrilled to be joined by my friend and esteemed colleague, Pamela Paul.

Pamela Paul: Hello, Carlos. It’s great to see you!

Lozada: Likewise, Pamela! We often find ourselves discussing literature, and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing today. In a previous role, I was a book critic for The Washington Post, and Pamela has a rich history of leading The New York Times Book Review. So, diving into this realm of books is something we both cherish. Recently, we both took the time to read Melania Trump’s new memoir.

The book features a minimalist all-black dust jacket, emblazoned with just one word — Melania — in striking white letters, accompanied by a single blurb on the back from none other than Donald Trump himself. While the memoir adheres to a conventional structure, it traverses various chapters of Melania Trump’s life, including her childhood, modeling career, relocation to New York, her marriage to Donald Trump, and a somewhat selective reflection on her experiences as a political spouse and first lady, as well as an observer of Donald Trump’s political journey.
