American Renaissance Man: The non-political side of William F. Buckley, Jr.

In a favorable review from The Dispatch, Alec Dent writes: “It’s this image of Buckley as the larger-than-life savior of the American right that one commonly encounters in conservative circles. But the strength of Perelman’s book is that it shows us different sides of Buckley: Buckley the friend, Buckley the mentor, Buckley the dinner party host. Even now, 30 years from the first time Perelman met Buckley and 17 years since his death, Perelman’s love for Buckley is palpable, and his prose conveys the sense of wonder and joy a young man would feel getting to not just meet his hero but befriend him.”
