Contents

"It's all either fear or faith" : the making of Deadwood -- 1. The language of men : lies, profanity, and greed, and how words can lead us to the apprehension of our common existence -- 2. The color : gold makes a man a man, and lifts us up above the baboons -- 3. Intoxicants : drinking, gambling, dope, and the rule of the fetish in Deadwood -- 4. Whores : the blow job monologues, the tittylicker, and the job of the pimp -- 5. ...Love and marriage : love as a foreign condition, doomed relationships, and men of few words -- 6. The badge and the gun : law and order are not the same thing, and tend to have little to do with one another -- 7. The mystery of the peaches : the politicians will always screw you, but there are circumstances in which we would rather have them around -- 8. Ordinary and extraordinary violence : "tell your God to ready for blood" -- 9. In his last extremity : the good doctor's approach to dying, the Reverend Smith, and the death of Wild Bill Hickok -- 10. ...And Mr. Wu : to the celestial is given the last word.
