PRAISE FOR ALL THE KING'S MEN "Over the course of more than two centuries of vivid political history, there is perhaps only one full-blooded American novel of politics that plunges deep into the hearts of its characters and therefore into the hearts of its readers, thus rising to the top ranks of American fiction. That is Robert Penn Warren's lush All the King's Men." - L O S A N G E L E S T I M E S B O O K R E V I E W "It's a measure of the enduring worth of All the King's Men that Willie Stark has entered our collective literary consciousness, in the company of Captain Ahab, Huck Finn, Jay Gatsby, Holden Caulfield, Rabbit Angstrom, and very few others." - J O Y C E C A R O L O A T E S , T H E N E W Y O R K R E V I E W O F B O O K S --, PRAISE FOR THE RESTORED EDITION OF ALL THE KING'S MEN "To read it in this new edition is to be struck again by its raw power, its urgency and relevance."-- New Orleans Times-Picayune "The original editors adjusted the novel to the tastes and styles of the time, but now we can read it as it was written. The result is a more complicated and emotionally charged--and longer--story."-- Chicago Tribune, This landmark book is a loosely fictionalized account of Governor Huey Long of Louisiana, one of the nation's most astounding politicians. All the King's Men tells the story of Willie Stark, a southern-fried politician who builds support by appealing to the common man and playing dirty politics with the best of the back-room deal-makers. Though Stark quickly sheds his idealism, his right-hand man, Jack Burden -- who narrates the story -- retains it and proves to be a thorn in the new governor's side. Stark becomes a successful leader, but at a very high price, one that eventually costs him his life. The award-winning book is a play of politics, society and personal affairs, all wrapped in the cloak of history., PRAISE FOR ALL THE KING'S MEN "Over the course of more than two centuries of vivid political history, there is perhaps only one full-blooded American novel of politics that plunges deep into the hearts of its characters and therefore into the hearts of its readers, thus rising to the top ranks of American fiction.

    Read it!

    Spellbinding. No wonder he was our first poet laureate. And as a Kentucky native, he makes us proud. His use of the language is incredible.

    A great story of American politics, but...

    Wonderful story, and really well-written (won a Pulitzer award). But the same story could have been told more compellingly in 300 pages or so instead of almost 600.

    All the King's Men

    Robert Penn Warren won a Pulitzer prize in literature for this novel and once you read it, it is easy to see why. He fills the pages with a complex plot that grips the reader, and interlaces his story with eloquent dialog and poetic conclusions Jack Burden, the main character and narrator, stumbles upon about life, himself, and the people around him.
