Six-Gun in Cheek: An Affectionate Guide to the "Worst" in Western Fiction
by Bill Pronzini
1997, Crossover Press

There's a serviceable history of popular western fiction in the framing, but I've been so broken by pulp fiction that all of this sounds normal to me. There's a little bit of silliness with overdone slang, but there was nothing here to snicker at or appreciate the audacity, it's just western fiction.
