Thomas Louis Berger (July 20, 1924 - July 13, 2014) was an American novelist. Probably best known for his picaresque novel Little Big Man and the subsequent film by Arthur Penn, Berger explored and manipulated many genres of fiction throughout his career, including the crime novel, the hard-boiled detective story, science fiction, the utopian novel, plus re-workings of classical mythology, Arthurian legend, and the survival adventure. Berger's biting wit led many reviewers to refer to him as a satirist or "comic" novelist, descriptions he preferred to reject. His admirers often bemoaned that his talent and achievement were under-appreciated, in view of his versatility across many forms of fiction, his precise use of language, and his probing intelligence. Berger enlist in the United States Army in 1943. Berger served in Europe, and was stationed with a medical unit in the first U.S. Occupation Forces in Berlin, experiences which later provided him with background for his first novel, Crazy in Berlin, published in 1958. Berger devoted himself to writing full-time, particularly after the notoriety gained by his third book, Little Big Man, in 1964. Now at the end of the Little Big Man, Jack's supposed death at age 111 cut short his tale. A newly discovered manuscript, however, reveals that Jack had faked his death to get out of his publishing contract, and he now picks up the story of his extraordinarily action-packed life. Back in the saddle again, Jack gives a blow-by-blow eyewitness account of the assassination of Wild Bill Hickok, and reveals that Really happened at the O.K. Corral. He meets, shoots, drinks, and rides with Bat Masterson, Annie Oakley, Doc Holliday, and dozens of ordinary Western folk: teachers, bargirls, saloon owners, cowboys, trappers, and gunslingers. Jack even ravels to Europe with Buffalo Bill Cody in his Wild West Show, where he is embraced by Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales. And in a gut-wrenching finale, Jack witnesses the murder of one of America's greatest heroes--Sitting Bill. As in Little Big Man, Thomas Berger's meticulous research enriches his story with authenticity and historical accuracy. The Return of Little Big Man is an astonishing literary achievement and a rollicking good read. Derived from a Kirkus review: No reappearance could be more welcome than that of Thomas Berger's fictional centenarian (and more), Jack Crabb, protagonist and, in his way, hero of the now-classic Little Big Man (1964), hands down the ne plus ultra among novels about the American Old West?until now, that is: for we?re about to learn that the resourceful Jack only pretended to die in an old-folks' home at age 111 (thus eluding his avaricious ghostwriter), and that he survived to relate the comparably amazing adventures that came after his survival of the Battle of Little Big Horn. These occurred during Jack's itinerant middle years in the several western territories (some not yet states) and abroad, and they include his intimate associations with such eminent and romantic figures as Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, and Bat Masterson, Doc Holliday, Annie Oakley, and Buffalo Bill Cody?and, in a spectacularly hilarious chapter, England's Queen Victoria. Jack's penchant for showing up in key places at momentous times occasions vivid first-person accounts of events both ignoble (a farcical misadventure at a "mission school") and legendary (the novel's major set-pieces: "The Gunfight That Never Happened at the O.K. Corral" and the story of the great Indian leader Sitting Bull's sad fate). All is told in a vigorous colloquial voice whose earthy accents often echo perfectly the impertinent horse sense of Mark Twain and plaintively lament both the white man's impact on Native America and the ornery persistence with which people continue misunderstanding one another. This magnificent sequel ends with Jack's teasing half-promise that he'll live on even longer and tell the rest of his story. And why shouldn't we believe him? Jack Crabb is already one of the immortals. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].
