Brilliant work of historical fiction
By Spk
This is simply the best book of historical fiction I have read - a brilliant work that is enthralling and utterly plausible.
I saw Gore Vidal's Lincoln on TV in the late 80s played by Sam Waterson and Mary Tyler Moore. At that time I remember thinking of it as a very interesting movie, but did not connect it to the American Chronicle series that Gore Vidal authored.
Reading this book, the TV movie comes better to light (and I am now quite urgently trying to dig it up!).
The book itself is characterized by several wonderful elements:
Firstly, Gore Vidal is a splendid writer. The way he scripts his words, the way he sets up the scenes and the psychological probing of his characters are all scintillating.
Secondly, the subject of this novel is so towering, that the reader can be forgiven for wondering if a novel can do him justice. Gore Vidal achieves that feat - he manages to present Lincoln foremost as a master politician, a leader for his times, a compassionate, wily, honest, determined and utterly human.
Finally, it is quite amazing how many of Lincoln's senior officers (Chase, Seward, McClellan) were gunning for his office. How Lincoln manages all these competing political forces is a compelling reading.
There is enough mythology sorrounding Lincoln, without having to have fiction written around him and circumstances of the civil war. But Gore Vidal's purpose is quite genuine and sincere - taking a fictional tack frees him up to probe Lincoln the man and all the characters and circumstances he had to deal with with much more freedom and creativity - the result is a plausible, yet utterly delightful account of America's arguably greatest President.
This book will be one my prized possesions on my bookshelf.

Greatest Presidential Novel
By Andrew
Forget BURR. This is Vidal's best novel. And I would make the case that it is the best Lincoln ¡°biography.¡±
The novel starts as Lincoln arrives like a thief into a hostile Washington rife with secessionist sentiment. It ends five years later with Lincoln's assassination by the nutcase actor John Wilkes Booth. We get Lincoln's battles with his Generals who don't want to fight and the radical Republicans in congress who think he is not fighting hard enough.
But the novel is not just about Lincoln's presidency and the bloody war which engulfed it. Though some 650 pages, LINCOLN is a work of extraordinary economy. Vidal manages to work in a mini-encyclopedia through anecdotes and gossip by walk-ons like Lincoln's former law partner Herndon, who tells us that Honest Abe wasn¡¯t always so honest and also came down with syphilis a young man.
Gore's remarkable portrait of Lincoln tears down myths, yet constructs a monument to the man in their place. The 'Great Emancipator' is portrayed as very soft on slavery and in favor of not only of compensating slaveowners but of shipping blacks off to colonize Central America. Lincoln comes off as a racist buffoon in a meeting with leaders of the North's black community. Yet Lincoln emerges as unquestionably America's greatest president, someone who nearly single-handedly saved the union out of sheer force of will. Lincoln's disaster of a marriage to the borderline schizophrenic Mary Todd is portrayed with a degree of tenderness, Lincoln coming off more as a suffering parent to his wife rather than a sparring partner.
The narrative of the novel maintains a slight distance to Lincoln, while at times veering much closer to supporting characters, such as Lincoln's secretary Hay, Mrs. Lincoln and even the detestable Salmon Chase. I think Vidal did this because he wanted to leave readers with a feeling that they knew Lincoln on a personal level rather than as a subject. For that, I was most grateful.

Great History, Great Politics, Great Novel
By Okla Elliott
Andrew Delbanco says of this novel: "This novel will, I suspect, maintain a permanent place in American letters." I can only hope so; it certainly deserves it. The historical detail is perfect, yet never tedious, and with Vidal choosing which details to give us, we get the juiciest ones. This is a novel that will please history buffs, but it will also transform a reader into a history buff. (I found myself checking out biographies of Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln from the library.)
If there is anything negative to be said about this book, it is simply that it is very long (657 pages, and they make full use of each page). This should not deter anyone from reading it. It just means you should buy it for yourself for Christmas and read it over the break. Or take it to the beach. Though I imagine a cup of coffee or tea and a blanket are more suited for this novel.
The Lincoln portrayed here is completely human, replete with humor, constipation, family quarrels, anxiety, wisdom--in short, a full and complex man. Scholars argue back and forth about whether Vidal has accurately portrayed Lincoln. This portrait is as accurate as any you'll find, but I promise you that no other will be this engaging and interesting. He even puts forth a believable theory about Lincoln's assassination (which he admits is largely conjecture in an afterword where he breaks down what parts of the novel are fictional and what parts factual).
I recommend this book to every history buff, to every literature buff, to every American.
