But Enough About You
Christopher Buckley
LOL – Christopher,
you had me with the title. And a quick, inside-the-bookstore skim of the
preface – the preface, mind you; not
exactly the heart or the marrow of the book – had me cackling. I especially
enjoyed your remembrances of Christopher Hitchens, JFK, Jr., and your father’s
old sparring partner, Gore Vidal, plus your telling looks at the writing of Kurt
Vonnegut, Rad Bradbury and Solzhenitsyn. And that doesn’t even begin to mine all
of the subjects featured in these 90 or so essays. Dazzling. There are few
greater pleasures for a reader than to find oneself mesmerized by the words of
an author who writes with confidence, wit and insight. Merci!
