    All the King’s Men
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2024*

Masterpiece scarcely does justice to this extraordinary tome. I feel speechless with the way book moved me over and over in myriad ways. I have often wanted to be a writer, but reading this book reminds me why I left it for the masters instead.

    What is The Original?  Is this the New Original?
  

*by B***B on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024*

Buyers should be aware, this is the "Restored" edition, in which an editor supposedly "returned" the work to its "original" condition.  Bit it isn't really original, since the original first chapter is included for comparison.  This begs the question, what is original, and why should that be better than a version most thought was better, and was published as such?  What was the "Original" Gettysburg Address, before Lincoln's final editions?  How would that be relevant to anything?  Opinions are worth what you pay for them.

    Confusingly excellent and a must-read
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2019*

Awarded the Pulitzer Prize for best American novel in 1947, the final year of the award (which was replaced with the award for best American fiction), ALL THE KING’S MEN is considered an American classic and the go-to Allstar of American political fiction.Peripherally, ALL THE KING’S MEN tells the story of the charismatic and morally-questionable Governor of Louisiana and US Senator, Huey Long “The Kingfish”. His dramatic rise and sudden demise were familiar to readers in the 1940’s but by now most have forgotten (or never heard of) Governor Long. This book doesn’t detail much about The Boss’s policies or controversies, so I thought potential readers may be interested in a bit of backstory: Huey Long was a socialist populist, promoting the role of government in helping the poor through redistribution and public works. He was reviled by old-guard politicians of both political parties, the blue-blooded elites, and the corporate interests he wanted to tax (mainly oil companies). He managed to make plenty of enemies during his politicking, employed pay-for-play politics, and was accused of dictator-like abuses of power in Louisiana. During his time in the US Senate, Long was described as “the hillbilly hero … [who] wore silks suits and pink ties, womanized openly, swilled whiskey in the finest bars, swaggered his way around Washington, and breathed defiance into the teeth of his critics” (Historian David Kennedy). Long was a critic of the New Deal, claiming it didn’t go far enough in redistributing power and wealth from Wall Street (Long’s favorite bogeyman) to the poor. President Roosevelt considered Long a major threat, accusing him of election fraud, voter intimidation, and tax evasion. This drama was coming to a head when Long was assassinated.However, while the story in ALL THE KING’S MEN revolves around the political career of Willie Stark (Huey Long), the book is not really about him at all, but about the personal growth and awakening of his right-hand-man, Jack Burden. Indeed, the entire book is spent inside the head of Jack Burden as he searches for The-Point-Of-It-All while working as the get-it-done man for The Boss. As you read this book you’ll discover that Jack Burden’s head is an interesting and somewhat neurotic place.  He has a generally perverse, almost morbid view of the world. He notices and remembers things like how a person’s skin covers their skull and tends to see the most compromising past and darkest potential in everyone.  He is also passively arrogant, almost psychotically unempathetic, and basically jaded by the human experience. Still, his psychological journey is convincing and somehow inspiring, and there is no shortage of profound philosophy here, even if it tends to be on the more pessimistic side of the spectrum.If that sounds less than pleasant, don’t worry, because Robert Penn Warren’s lyrical prose is absolutely masterful, being breathtakingly beautiful and often hilariously witty, making ALL THE KING’S MEN an enjoyable page-turner that you can read for no other reason than experiencing how the words are put together.  A less-skilled wordsmith trying to tell the same story is the same manner would have failed epically, but this book is confusingly excellent and a must-read.
