Christopher Buckley, novelist, political humorist and the son of William Buckley, talks with Don during this 1986 interview about his newest novel, The Whitehouse Mess. He describes it as being a parody of a former president’s Whitehouse memoir, and explains some of the stories within it. He also tells us about his experiences in politics, what he does as an editor-at-large for Esquire, and his father’s reaction to his work. Buckley is also the author of Thank You for Smoking, Little Green Men and Florence of Arabia.
