          Ya Sam:
          For example, I have recently watched 'Unforgiven'
          which I enjoyed even more after AtD. The way the 
          Kid spoke in this film struck me as very peculiar, it 
          was definitely some kind of slurry local dialect, but 
          which? So, I'm really curious about being able to 
          'recognise' the given speaker in AtD by listening to 
          Hill's narration.

"Deadwood" is like "Unforgiven", allowing us to hear all the regional 
differences of the westward expansion instead of the sound of some 
generic "Western" patois. It seems a particular quality of the "Po-Mo 
Western", a genre that kicks off with with Oakley Hall's "Warlock". 
You could call it polyglot, if you want to, there's a lot of that sort of 
thing in all of Pynchon's writing.
