Boy, Gore Vidal. That guy could write. The way he sets up Lincoln as this likable, admirable, relatable fellow for 300+ pages and then just drives home the president's deep, insidious racism...but it's still not a surprise. Like, it hits you HARD and it's ugly but even as you're reading the worst passages you're like...yeah, actually, part of me saw this coming. Intense stuff. Argh.
