Child's Night Dream
What Robert Penn Warren did for Louisiana politics with ALL THE KING'S MEN, the late Billy Lee Brammer tried to do with Texas politics in THE GAY PLACE. The results may not be perfect, but they are potent enough that I'm giving this one four stars. Set in the late 1950s when Texas politics was starting to liberalize in spite of itself, these interrelated novels are a perfect blend of historical acuity and psychological analysis as larger-than-life characters stomp through the changing landscape. (See if you can pinpoint which one's Lyndon!) I bought my first copy when it was reissued in the Seventies and re-reading it was a labor of love. It's also very funny at times. THE GAY PLACE is a book I'm always happy to recommend.
Note: "Gay" here is used in its traditional meaning of "jubilant," "festive."
