Book description
I am intrigued by the man who could say this about the better novelist:Graham Greene always struck me as being at war with himself. He had impulses that he sometimes examined with a compulsive sense to dissect them, as though only an autopsy would do to dissect their nature. He was a Christian more or less malgrГ© soi ((reluctantly, against ones will)). He was a Christian because he couldnt quite prevent it. And therefore he spent most of his time belittling Christianity and Christians. He hated the United States, and his hatred was in part, I suppose, a reaction similar to that of some finely calibrated people to American vulgarity. But with him it was so compulsive it drove him almost to like people who were professional enemies of the United States...Given the refinement of his mind, its always been a mystery to me that he should have been so besotted in his opposition to that towards which he naturally inclined - Christianity and all that Christianity bespeaks - in order to identify himself with those he saw as the little men. Okay, but when the little men were such people as Fidel Castro or Daniel Ortega? It all defies analysis. (Conversations with William Buckley p.123)Faulkner in his Nobel Prize speech spoke about the nuclear bomb - the Cold War - and how it prevented young men and women writing the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat. Buckley as Cold War warrior couldnt allow that heart in conflict for himself. A Catholic like Greene, Buckley should be seen as a missionary for a faith he never thought to question, unlike Greene. Throughout this fascinating story of American intellectual life (yes, there is such a thing) Buckleys work straddles the line between movement and cult. His Americanism lent itself to conspiracy and paranoia. He had much in common with the fanatically conservative John Birch Society until he realized he had to sever himself from the loonies. Same goes with his courting and rejection of Ayn Rand. As Bogus says, you can criticize her all you want but her books continue to influence, is still the basis of thousands upon thousands of young Americans faith in, and warmth toward, capitalism. Buckley famously said about Atlas Shrugged I had to flog myself to read it. His conservative magazine The National Review attacked Rands trash repeatedly but she hasnt gone anywhere. Shes a Frankenstein that only post-Second World War America could have created. Boguss book has much to say on this. Buckley took his Catholicism for granted like Christopher Hitchens took his atheism. They are remarkably similar figures. They respected one another perhaps for the way their radicalism mirrored each other at political extremes. They were prolific writers, but I doubt either wrote a book that will outlast their memory. This is not to say they arent significant figures - if remembered at all a hundred years from now their social genius born of charm, charisma and ease on public stage will have something to say for them historically. There were much better conservative thinkers than Buckley like Russell Kirk, Peter Vierek and Clinton Rossiter, men who were unfortunately born with an anti-social streak and so you probably havent heard of them either. Buckley and Hitchens were outstanding on their feet; since they were so dazzling and antagonistic, cultured and witty in debate its easy to overlook their glaring limitations as intellectuals. Buckley took abstractions like the rule of law as found in the U.S. Constitution too far when using it to defend the police actions taken against black protesters in Selma, 1965. He knew the police were brutal and went out of his way not to criticize them for their brutality. Since he was not idiotic in the way todays conservatives are when attacking Obama and liberals, you couldnt call him a racist but he resembled one for the exclusive version of freedom he was defending. Same goes for Hitchens and his childish stubbornness when it came to the invasion of Iraq, defending it long past it looked reasonable to do so. Their elite educations taught them to retreat into the finer point made. In cases like Civil Rights and the Iraq War this education comes back to haunt them, as well it should. All in all its hard not to admire Buckley. Those who think ideas do not matter should read this book and think again. It helps to be born into money and with a certain charm, but though Buckley could be stingy with his Americanism he wasnt that way with people he respected, often employing those he held fundamental differences with to a post at his The National Review. He ran for mayor of New York City in 1965 knowing he was going to lose. His purpose was to advance the conservative cause while in defeat. It produced this amusing exchange during a press conference that soon put him on the map outside of a minority interest:REPORTER: Do you want to be Mayor, sir?BUCKLEY: I have never considered it.REPORTER: But you are asking people to vote for you. If you win, will you serve?BUCKLEY: If elected, I will serve.REPORTER: Do you think you have a chance of winning?BUCKLEY: No.REPORTER: How many votes do you expect to get, conservatively speaking?BUCKLEY: Conservatively speaking, one.
