Summary:Athough the enduring significance of Robert Penn Warren, Renaissance man of modern American letters, in American popular culture was revealed by the second movie daptation of All the King's Men in 2005, exactly a century after his birth and six decades after the novel's first publication, the pervasive influence of his creative example also is demonstrated by the award-winning productions of David Milch, maverick genius of contemporary television. The second season of his popular and provocative HBO series Deadwood in 2005 occasioned a New Yorker profile by Mark Singer in which Milch revealed his profound respect for Warren both as writer and as man. Here, Millichap critiques Milch's Deadwood.
