“Night Rider” sets a template for much of Warren’s later fiction in treating historical events or eras with the tragic twist of a well-intentioned protagonist sucked into the maw of moral dilemmas and human greed.Īs "Night Rider" opens, lawyer Percy Munn is on a train, pushed forward with the crowd of passengers by the inertia of the train's coming to a stop. Here Warren, a native Kentuckian, writes about the tobacco war between independent growers and big tobacco companies in Kentucky and Tennessee in the first decade of the 20th century. It places in my top five of Warren’s novels (teaser: a 1 to 10 ranking coming at the end of this review!).
While the bursts of bewitching writing are fewer and farther between here than would come - it’s Warren playing it “straighter” than later, which might actually appeal to some readers - the novel is still wonderfully written and quite remarkable for a first published work. I feared a somewhat tentative, not-fully-formed debut in “Night Rider” (no, it’s not about talking cars!) it isn’t. My wonderful, years-long journey to read all 10 of the novels of Robert Penn Warren ends sadly/happily with his first, “Night Rider” (1939). While the bursts of bewitching writing are fewer and farther between here than would come - it’s Warren playing it “straighter” than later, which might actually appeal to some readers - the novel is still wonderful And the first shall be last.
