Warrenâs Willie Talos: Reflections on the Name
In choosing Willie Talos as the original name for his strongman governor in All the Kingâs Men,Warrenwas explicitly drawing upon Edmund Spenser, but his allusion to the Faerie Queene remains puzzling. Spenserâs âroboticâ character would seem to have more in common with a dehumanized figure in the novel like Sugar Boy, who is often presented in mechanistic imagery.Warrenâs ultimate decision to change Willieâs name from Talos to Stark seems a wise one
