In this PLATINUM AGE of television, Kimberly looks at the masterful language, the deft historical elements and the incredible Shakespearean airs of one of the best TV series of all time: David Milch's DEADWOOD.

Kimberly hates to be self-aggrandizing but she honestly thinks this might be some of her VERY BEST WORK. Pete Dexter's DEADWOOD is an absolutely gorgeous, warm, violent and super-engaging book. If you loved it, listen now. Kimberly couldn't help but discuss some spoilers, so if you haven't read it, do that and come right back here. DEADWOOD is SO GOOD.

On the Season 12 Premiere, we're dialing into the gritty heart of St. Louis, connecting with an author whose prose pulsates with raw energy. Joe West's book, Strange Flesh, takes us through a darkly fascinating realm of misfits and street heroes. If you're a fan of the likes of Donald Goines, Ray Carver, or Pete Dexter, Joe's writing style might just become your new obsession. It's gritty, relentless, and always unpredictable.

Authors Shawn Levy (A Year in the Life of Death, Rat Pack Confidential) and Erica Wagner (Chief Engineer, Gravity) join us to discuss US writer Pete Dexter's second novel Deadwood (1986), described by the Washington Post on publication as 'maybe the best Western ever written'. In addition to enjoying this unpredictable and uproarious historical novel, we investigate the differences - and notable similarities - between Dexter's work and the classic TV series of the same name that followed a decade later. Also this week, John has been reading Katherine May's life-affirming memoir, The Electricity of Every Living Thing, while Andy pays tribute to Nina Simone's Gum by musician Warren Ellis, a book that asks profound questions about what it means to be divine.

During that summer, Jack, son of her newspaper owner employer, is enlisted by his journalist brother Ward and his writing partner, Yardly, to drive them around their small Florida town while they attempt to exonerate death row inmate Hillary Van Wetter on behalf of his magnetically beautiful fiance Charlotte Bless.   Next week's movie: PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 13:00 Summary of THE PAPERBOY (spoiler free) 14:41 1960's Vernacular Makes Us Uncomfortable 24:56 SPOILERS 39:00 Boob Talk 43:51 That Uncomfortable Jailhouse Scene 01:22:23 Ratings and Final Thoughts 01:40:30 Next Week's Pick by Our First Guest Royalty free music used: Ready Set Go and Outro White Smoke Copyright 2020 Grindhouse Girls Podcast

Norman Maclean published A River Runs Through It when he was seventy-three, and only after his children implored him to write down the stories about fly-fishing, brotherhood, and the wilds of Montana that he’d told them for years. The resulting novella is a classic of economy and clarity. A few years later, Pete Dexter visited Maclean in … Continue reading The Old Man and the River, by Pete Dexter

Norman Maclean taught Shakespeare until he was seventy, then wrote a timeless story worthy of the bard himself.
