Losing Mum and Pup: A Memoir - Christopher Buckley

Christopher Buckley, the only child of William F. and Patricia T. Buckley, recalls the lives of these larger-than-life parents in Losing Mum And Pup (Twelve, $24.99), a memoir that shimmers with affection and humor.  Of his conservative Catholic father he writes, “Pup had the most delicious, reliable, wicked vibrant sense of humor of anyone I knew,” a trait Chris Buckley liberally sprinkles throughout his celebration of his parents’ lives.
