Synopsis
In a one-year span political humorist and novelist Christopher Buckley lost both his father, William F. Buckley, founder of the National Review and one of the founders of the modern conservative movement, and his famous socialite mother, Patricia Taylor Buckley. With such wonderfully larger-than-life parents, Christopher felt he had no choice but to capture their personalities in words, and with so much rich material his memoir poured out in a torrential 40 days of writing. But LOSING MUM AND PUP is no fawning sentimental tribute by an only son; Christopher is a wicked satirist by nature with a keen and independent mind (in 2008 he endorsed Barack Obama for president and resigned from the National Review), and this book creates a complicated warts-and-all portrait of a remarkable American family.

Publisher's Note
This candid and intensely personal story details how the best-selling author coped with the passing of his parents, William F. Buckley, Jr., the father of the modern conservative movement, and Patricia Taylor Buckley, one of New York's most colorful socialites, between 2007 and 2008.

Industry Reviews
"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."
(04/29/2009)

"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."
(05/03/2009)

"Here were two fascinating, exasperating, outsized characters whose areas of interest appeared to be mutually exclusive. The miracle seems to be their marriage, and the loving son they managed...to raise....Most contemporary memoirs fall into one of two camps: Far too long and way too short. LOSING MUM AND PUP is decidedly the latter."
