All the King's Men

"Not that I much blame Duffy. Duffy was face to face with the margin of mystery where all our calculations collapse, where the stream of time dwindles into the sands of eternity, where the formula fails in the test tube, where chaos and old night hold sway and we hear the laughter in the ether dream. But he didn't know he was, and so he said, "Yeah.""

 

"All The King's Men", by Robert Penn Warren; published in 1946, has been made into a movie, but as usually happens, the movie, as good as it is, does not due full justice to the novel. Robert Penn Warren reportedly told historian David Blight the novel, set in America's Deep South of the 1930's, is about "Julias Caesar".
