"The memoir provoked by [Bill and Pat Buckley's] lives and deaths is loving, exasperated and very funny....[T]he writing...is generally top-drawer."
Thomas Mallon, New York Times Book Review, 05/03/2009
Review:"LOSING MUM AND PUP explains how the younger Mr. Buckley lost both his parents within the space of a year and lived to reel off bon mots about it....The events described in this book are enough to saddle an otherwise punctilious writer with metaphors that are as mixed as his emotions. Read it and chortle. Read it and weep."
Janet Maslin, New York Times, 04/29/2009

Book Description: Twelve, United States, 2009. Hardback. Book Condition: New. large type edition. 211 x 145 mm. Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.In twelve months between 2007 and 2008, Christopher Buckley coped with the passing of his father, William F. Buckley, the father of the modern conservative movement, and his mother, Patricia Taylor Buckley, one of New York's most glamorous and colorful socialites. He was their only child and their relationship was close and complicated. Writes Buckley: "They were not - with respect to every other set of loving, wonderful parents in the world - your typical mom and dad." As Buckley tells the story of their final year together, he takes readers on a surprisingly entertaining tour through hospitals, funeral homes, and memorial services, capturing the heartbreaking and disorienting feeling of becoming a 55-year-old orphan. Buckley maintains his sense of humor by recalling the words of Oscar Wilde: "To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune. To lose both looks like carelessness." Just as Calvin Trillin and Joan Didion gave readers solace and insight into the experience of losing a spouse, Christopher Buckley offers consolation, wit, and warmth to those coping with the death of a parent, while telling a unique personal story of life with legends.
