All the King's Men
by Robert Penn Warren
All the King’s Men turned out to be very well-done. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised; it did win a Pulitzer, after all. I think I was sort of in the wrong mood for reading it because I felt very detached from the story, even though it was being told in a way I recognized as being one I would normally be very involved in. The main impression I carried away from the book was, “Ah, very skillful,” even though I knew I was meant to be moved by the drama, not focusing on the writer’s skill: I just didn’t feel moved, and it wasn’t through any fault of the author. Warren’s poetry is some of the most emotionally moving that I’ve read. I think I just need to go back and reread this in a few years, because I really did like it very much, and I think I would love it if I read it at the right time.
