An engaging read that might not do much for your opinion of some Founding Fathers. The bitchy, scandalous details make one want to dig deeper in the cesspit of history.
I ignored Gore Vidal for most of my life. He was always way too media for my tastes. Especially after that encounter with Mailer on the Cavett show those many years ago. I had a friend who was in the movie version of Myra Breckenridge, so I saw that film in a Manhatten cinema and wished I hadn't. It just confirmed my prejudices towards Vidal. What I discovered after reading this book was that I'd been doing myself a disservice. Gore Vidal is the wittiest, and thankfully not the most lugubriously erudite, historian we have. Burr and Schuyler come across as three-dimensional characters, much more so than Washington or Jefferson ever have. Yes, this is biased, not to mention jaundiced, history. We must remind ourselves that it is an historical novel, not purporting to keep strictly to the facts. Washington comes across as a militarily incompetent, but poticially shrewd egomaniac. Jefferson is not treated too reverentially either. Burr, whom we know from American History classes only because he killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel, comes across as a witty and urbane statesman who perhaps didn't display the greatest amount of common sense in that murky New Orleans business. This novel opened my eyes about Vidal and I promptly went on a Vidal tear, reading five of his other books. I'd stick to the American History novels (particularly Lincoln), however. I found Creation to be a lot more contrived than his other works (and I love Byzantine/medieval history). If you want a good picture of Byzantium, stick to Procopius.
I read "Burr" first out of Gore Vidal's historical novels, and was very glad I did. Having been a fan of Vidal ever since reading his "United States: Collected Essays, 1952-1992," I eagerly awaited an acidic, satirical take on the glorious creation myths of the USA. I got what I expected, but a great deal more. The friendship between Hamilton and Burr (and Burr and the Alcibiadean James Wilkinson) generates a great deal of pathos, and makes the famous duel (memorably commented on by Burr as a pastime popular culture thinks entered the United States due to his killing Hamilton) a great deal more tragic than even calcified American history textbooks imply (albeit for different reasons). The writing frequently grabs attention, especially the expedition to Quebec in 1775. The general impression is of these two geniuses, for whom the highest ideal is service to a brand new country, being manipulated and betrayed by their de facto political "masters," Washington and Jefferson. The asides in 1830s New York are equally fascinating, as Charlie Schuyler (to reappear in LINCOLN and 1876) maneuvers the minefield of Jacksonian politics to discover the real story, already beginning to accumulate the dust of idolatry. This is easily one of the best historical novels ever written.
Vidal sets about telling the heroic life story of one of history's true villains, Aaron Burr, Jr. Whether he was villain or hero should be for the reader to judge, however, Vidal chooses to have Burr tell us of his own greatnes and unquestioned innocence while all around him were rascals of the lowest form.The use of first person narrative by the story teller and Burr is at times confusing and always awkward. By having Burr tell his own story and having Charlie Schuyler fail at finding a realistic middle ground the book is greatly flawed.Inexplicably, Vidal leaves several unresolved theories on the table. Since these involve true historical figures, Vidal should have resolved them to leave history intact. He doesn't and that is taking too much journalistic license. While Vidal may assert that all things in fiction are possible (read Duluth), history should not be changed by the swirl of a pen.This book was recommended to me by someone with excellent historical credential. I wonder why. More importantly, I wonder why so many others are not bothered by this most flawed worked.Historical fiction works best when the story is built around the history not when the history is perverted to tell a story.
In this novel, Vidal creates a more vivid picture of the past that most historians, and I for one, am glad that he chose to create a historical novel rather than simply a biography of Aaron Burr. Although besides the narrator, Charlie Schuyler, little is invented. In his Afterword, Vidal says that only in three instances has he "moved people about." Like one previous reviewer, I too am a teenager, however, I found Burr to be compulsively readable. Of course, history is one of my favorite subjects, and I was not forced to read this book. Burr is a portrait of our nation in a time we see little of now, the post-Revolutionary, pre-Civil War period. Vidal sheds new light on the familiar historical figures that Burr is peopled with. This is still relevant to us today, as new revelations about Thomas Jefferson make us realize that he is closer to the figure portrayed in Burr than previously thought.
This book not only tells a lot about Aaron Burr, a virtually unknown Founding Father of the US, but it tells us the flaws of the other Founding Fathers, whom we all chose to regard as perfect, and as Gods. I'm not ready to believe all that is said in this book, much of it was made up, but it gives you a very interesting insight. Maybe Jefferson and Washington and Hamilton were not all we think they were. Maybe it was not Burr that was the bad guy in the duel, it was Hamilton. I just thought this was a very interesting book in the way it makes you think. The style of writing was supurb, I have read this book about five times and anytime I can just sit down and read it again without being bored. If you havn't yet read this different perspective on the beginnings of the United States, I recommend you do!
