Críticas
[A] dizzying display of versatility. As a longtime fan of Buckley's comic novels (10 at last count), I came away from this book with tremendous respect -- yes indeed, respect -- for his ability to switch (apparently seamlessly) from one form to another, the prose enlivened by his distinctive wordplay and quirky opinions. He is good company whether you're looking for two quick pages and a smile, or want to linger over his nuanced character assessment of his former employer, Vice President George H. W. Bush.--New York Times Book Review
Witty and irreverent.--Washington Independent Review of Books
A geyser of comedy for three decades.--USA Today
Even with more than 450 pages and almost 100 essays, you'll want more of Buckley's astute observations of the human condition that will make you chuckle, laugh loudly or seriously consider the points made throughout the book. Read it straight through from beginning to end, or just pick it up at any point and you'll discover what clever and invigorating writing can do for your spirit.--Acadiana Lifestyle
The great thing about But Enough About You is that if one essay is not to your liking, surely the next one will suit you. Buckley has had such a wide range of experiences in his travels, writing career, political experience, and his circle of friends that it seems he has no end of interesting anecdotes. His life is more interesting than most, and he writes movingly and brilliantly about it... You just have to admire a writer who is as comfortable writing about a visit to Auschwitz or a tribute to Joseph Heller as he is writing about his incompetence as a ski instructor for his 7-year-old son, or a fake questionnaire for vice presidential candidates.--Reading Glutton
I encourage you to pick up a copy of But Enough About You, if only to learn how an explosive device became a chew-toy for the First Pooch and why there is a chapter called 'You Thieving Pile of Albino Warts.'--Fiction Reboot
But Enough About You is worthy of attention on several fronts, but particularly in its humor and in the affection of its portraits of certain authors.--Smoky Mountain News
[O]ne of the funniest and most insightful writers in America... The word I wrote most often in my notes as I read the book was 'hilarious.'--Book Reporter
Prone to benign mischief, a literary twinkle in the eye, Buckley nails his targets....--Kirkus Reviews
[Buckley] excels in parodies of newspaper corrections, travel tips for small-aircraft passengers, and the comedic dystopia of an imagined inaugural speech from President Donald Trump.--Publishers Weekly
Reseña del editor
An extraordinary wide-ranging collection of essays with “distinctive wordplay and quirky opinions...Christopher Buckley is good company whether you’re looking for two quick pages and a smile, or want to linger” (The New York Times Book Review).
Christopher Buckley, like his terrific volume But Enough About You, contains multitudes. Tackling subjects ranging from “How to Teach Your Four-Year-Old to Ski” to “A Short History of the Bug Zapper,” and “The Art of Sacking” to literary friendships with Joseph Heller and Christopher Hitchens, he is at once a humorous storyteller, astute cultural critic, adventurous traveler, and irreverent historian.
Reading these essays is the equivalent of being in the company of a tremendously witty and enlightening companion. Praised as “both deeply informed and deeply funny” byThe Wall Street Journal, Buckley will have you laughing and reflecting in equal measure. This is a rare combination of big ideas and truly fun writing.
