All the King's Men

The story is about Willie Stark, a slick politician of humble birth, who was based on real-life Huey Long, a Louisiana governor, but the real main character is Jack Burden, a reporter who serves to narrate the story and Stark's rise to power.

First sentence: TO GET there you follow Highway 58, going northeast out of the city, and it is a good highway and new.
