‘All the King’s Men,’ Now 70, Has a Touch of 2016 - The New York Times
“Southern political personalities, like sweet corn, travel badly,” the journalist A. J. Liebling wrote. “They lose flavor with every hundred yards away from the patch.”
This is a terrific novel, if you haven’t read it (and also, of course, if you have). And it’s been made into a movie twice, once in 1949 starring Broderick Crawford and again in 2006 with Sean Penn. The first is by far the best, a classic.
