I read Warlock by Oakley Hall, one of the first “revisionist” Westerns. Thomas Pynchon loved the book, so I figured I’d give it a shot and wow. Definitely an influence on Cormac McCarthy and the old HBO show Deadwood. Amazing dialog and interior monologues (soliloquies), beautiful language throughout.
