Lewis somehow manages to create a very interesting and, yet, at times, very boring story about a fictional future (relative to Lewis, that it) in which "I can't believe it's not Huey Long" establishes a fascist dictatorship over the United States. Other than some boring bits, and some dialogue that reads strangely, the book is excellent over all.
Anyone else read it?
I've been meaning to read this for some time, it only seems appropriate now.

No. How does it compare to All the King's Men by Penn Warren? That was another fictional treatment of Huey Long and, although there was an awful lot of fat that could have been trimmed, a pretty terrific novel.
