A review by c2pizza
Burr by Gore Vidal

4.0

I remember hearing the comparison of Gore Vidal to Stendahl a year or so ago and not being able to think anything of it having not read either author. A year later I found myself reading Burr at home and The Red and the Black at work and constantly overlapping the plots in my mind which rarely happens. So I have to support the notion that Gore Vidal is the Stendahl of the 20th century and that everyone should read both of them.
