Deadwood by Pete Dexter
Wild Bill Hickok may be getting old, but he can still shoot a small glass off the head of a bulldog at 30 paces. He and partner Charles "Colorado Charley" Utter have come to the brawling boom-town of Deadwood to do some gambling. By the author of "Paris Trout".
Pete Dexter began his working life with a U.S. Post office in New Orleans, Louisiana. He wasn't very good at mail and quit, then caught on as a newspaper reporter in Florida, which he was not very good at, got married, and was not very good at that. In Philadelphia he became a newspaper columnist, which he was pretty good at, and got divorced, which you would have to say he was good at because it only cost $300. Dexter remarried, won the National Book Award and built a house in the desert so remote that there is no postal service. He's out there six months a year, pecking away at the typewriter, living proof of the adage What goes around comes around -- that is, you quit the post office, pal, and the post office quits you.
