“It’s sort of theCatch 22of westerns for me,” he said.
“There’s a lot of detail about horses.

“That all informed Frank Griffin for me.
It takes you away from the standard way of thinking about western dialogue.”

There was one novel that Frank intentionally avoided during the making ofGodless.
“I knew how good it was going to be.
I hadn’t read it.

And I thought, I shouldn’t read it now.
I should wait until after I finish.”
