Those who were charmed and amazed by Bill Buckley’s restlessness, which fueled a life of relentless travel — atop the seas in soaked yachts battling titanic storms, in cramped submersibles at the ocean floor (to view the actual Titanic), circumnavigating the globe in luxurious Concordes, or flying solo in a small prop plane racing the darkening New England skies — will love the just-published Getting About: The Travel Writings of William F. Buckley Jr. Carefully assembled by Bill Meehan, WFB’s friend and bibliographer, the collection is a treasure trove, gathering over 100 Buckley articles and essays and presenting a smorgasbord of sojourns and jaunts on trains, planes, automobiles, boats, ships, and, yes, submarines (alas, no balloons, no dromedaries!). The beautiful hardcover weighs in at over 400 pages — it will keep the Buckley fan in thrall for many a day. Amidst its good cheer is also a tinge of melancholy: Getting About, in its way, tells the tale of a dauntless man of action, excitement, and camaraderie but also reminds many of us why we sorely miss him. Kudos to Bill Meehan for what is an important contribution to those efforts to enhance the Buckley Legacy.
