Stendhal mentioned the Comte Ory in my favorite book, my favorite novel, The Red and the Black.
Why people recommend it
The Red and the Black is a classic psychological novel by Stendhal that chronicles the ambitious rise and tragic downfall of a young provincial man in post-Napoleonic France. The novel received high praise during separate podcast appearances by writer Dan Wang, who repeatedly highlighted the work as a central literary touchstone for his own thinking and creative endeavors. While appearing on Conversations with Tyler, Dan Wang cited Stendhal's novel as his absolute favorite book, specifically noting an instance where the author referenced the Comte Ory. Later, while discussing his writing style and cultural inspirations on How I Write, Dan Wang returned to the subject of the novel, explaining that he had just reread the book over the summer. He mentioned that it was likely his fourth time experiencing the text, reaffirming its status as his favorite novel. Through these discussions, the classic nineteenth-century French work was framed not only as a personal literary favorite for Wang, but also as a enduring source of inspiration that he revisits regularly to inform his own worldview and approach to writing about culture, society, and history.
