A Conversation with Bestselling Novelist Christopher Buckley

flv
  • Date: 10.02.08

In award-winning author Christopher Buckley's novel Supreme Courtship, the president of the United States, miffed that the Senate continues to reject his nominees, decides to get even by nominating America's most popular TV judge to the Supreme Court. It just so happens that Buckley made the judge a Fordham Law School graduate, perhaps because he consulted with Fordham's own Dean William Treanor in conceiving some of the plot points for the novel.

Christopher Buckley is the author of 13 books and countless pieces of journalism, satire, and criticism, which have appeared in publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The New Republic, Washington Monthly, Vanity Fair, Vogue, and Esquire.
