Miss Buckleyâs insiderâs account of daily life at National Review includes anecdotes that will become part of the folklore of conservatism: the scandalous origins of the officeâs Memorial Couch, Arthur Schlesingerâs prize donkey, and NRâs own version of the Pentagon Papers, to name a few. Her privileged perch had its advantages and drawbacks: Miss Buckley worked with many of the leading journalists and politicians of the past half-centuryâNR attracted the young George Will, Joan Didion, Garry Wills, David Brooks, and Paul Gigot, among others. She also constantly contended with the more exotic species in the conservative zoo (remember the fluoridation controversy?).
Interspersed with these winsome tales are accounts of the Buckley clanâs outdoor adventures that rank with the best travel writing: hot air ballooning, white-water rafting, and huntingâlots of hunting.
As National Review celebrates its fiftieth birthday, Miss Buckleyâs memoir of family and work, patriotism and faith, pranks and laughs, will charm American conservatives through the anniversary year and for years to come.
About: In an affectionate and hilarious memoir of her forty-three years at National Review, Priscilla Buckley takes her readers behind the scenes at the magazine that came to define American conservatism.
