Includes Introduction and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with black-and-white photographic frontispiece. "William F. Buckley's sketches and vignettes of the prominent people of his time are absolute gems, and so are the introductions by James Rosen. A book to own, to read - and to read again." - Brit Hume, senior political analyst, Fox News Channel. "William F. Buckley was both an ideological warrior and a bon vivant with a talent for friendship. He understood that a well-lived life should be simultaniously serious and fun, and that a death calls for a summing up, both measured and elegant. This volume gathers some of Buckley's best eulogies, deftly placed in context byJames Rosen." - George F. Will, Washington Post columnist. "William F. Buckley, Jr. remembers - as only he could - the towering figures of the twentieth century in a brilliant and emotionally powerful collection, compiled by acclaimed Fox News correspondent James Rosen. In a half century on the national stage, William F. Buckley, Jr. achieved a unique stature as a writer, a celebrity, and the undisputed godfather of modern American conservatism. He kept company with the best and brightest, the sultry and powerful. Ronald Reagan pronounced WFB "perhaps the most influential journalist and intellectual in our era," and his jet-setting life was a who's who of high society, fame, and fortune. Among all his distinctions, which include founding the conservative magazine National Review and hosting the long-running talk show Firing Line, Buckley was also a master of that most elusive art form: the eulogy. He drew on his unrivaled gifts to mourn, celebrate, or seek mercy for the men and women who touched his life and the nation. Now, for the first time, WFB's sweeping judgments of the great figures of his time - presidents and prime ministers, celebrities and scoundrels, intellectuals and guitar gods - are collected in one place. A Torch Kept Lit presents more than fifty of Buckley's best eulogies, drawing on his personal memories and private correspondences and using a novelist's touch to conjure his subjects as he knew them. We are reintroduced, through Buckley's eyes, to the likes of Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan, Elvis Presley and John Lennon, Truman Capote and Martin Luther King, Jr.this volume sheds light on a tumultuous period in American history - from World War II to Watergate, the "death" of God to the Grateful Dead - as told in the inimitable voice of one of our most elegant literary stylists. William F. Buckley, Jr. is back - just when we need him most.".

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. As new condition dark blue boards with gold front cover decoration and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication and Acknowledgments. Signed by the author, Ron McLarty, with black pen on a new condition Indian River Literary Society bookplate which is not attached to the volume. "This is a book that can do more than walk: it has a chance to be a breakout bestseller.Smithy is an American original, worthy of a place on the shelf just below your Hucks, your Holdens, your Yossarians." - Stephen King. "Riders who hop onto the back of Smithy Ide's bike and ride America awith him will cherish the journey. I love this sad, funny, life-affirming novel." - Wally Lamb. "Every decade seems to produce a novel that captures the public's imagination with a story that sweeps readers up and takes them on a thrilling, unforgettable ride. Ron McLarty's The Memory of Running is this decade's novel. Meet Smithson "Smithy" Ide, an overweight, friendless, chain-smoking, forty-three-year-old drunk who works as a quality control inspector at a toy action-figure factory in Rhode Island. By all accounts, especially Smithy's own, he's a loser. Then, within the span of one week, his beloved parents are killed in a car crash, and Smithy learns that his emotionally troubled, long-lost sister, Bethany, has turned up in a morgue in Los Angeles. Unmoored by the loss of his entire family - Smithy had always hoped Bethany might return - he rolls down the driveway of his parents' house on his old Raleigh bicycle into an epic journey that will take him clear across the country. As Smithy pedals across America - through New York City, St. Louis, Denver, and Phoenix, to name a few - he encounters humanity at its best and worst and begins to remember an early life that too many beers have blotted out. The baseball games, the home-cooked meals, the soothing presence of his salt-of-the-earth parents: none of it could transform the dark truth of his sister's madness. The Memory of Running, McLarty's stunning debut as a novelist, heralds the arrival of a major new voice in American fiction. And Smithy Ide - sad, sweet, and funny in spite of himself - is a character who will linger in your mind long after his hilarious, luminous, and extraordinary adventures have come to an end." - from the inner front jacket flap.
