Description: “The truth is always made up of little particulars which sound ridiculous when repeated.” So says Jack Crabb, the 111-year-old narrator of Thomas Berger’s 1964 masterpiece of American fiction, Little Big Man. Berger claimed the as serious literature with this savage and epic account of one man’s extraordinary double life.After surviving the massacre of his pioneer family, ten-year-old Jack is adopted by an Indian chief who nicknames him Little Big Man. As a , he feasts on dog, loves four wives, and sees his people butchered by horse soldiers commanded by General . Later, living as a white man once more, he hunts the buffalo to near-extinction, tangles with , cheats , and fights in the Battle of Little Bighorn alongside Custer himself—a man he’d sworn to kill. Hailed by The Nation as “a seminal event,” Little Big Man is a singular literary achievement that, like its hero, only gets better with age.Praise for Little Big Man“An epic such as Mark Twain might have given us.”—Henry Miller“The very best novel ever about the American West.”—The New York Times Book Review“Spellbinding . . . [Crabb] surely must be one of the most delightfully absurd fictional fossils ever unearthed.”—Time“Superb . . . Berger’s success in capturing the points of view and emotional atmosphere of a vanished era is uncanny. His skill in characterization, his narrative power and his somewhat cynical humor are all outstanding.”—The New York Times

During a recent outing with friends the subject of Westerns came up. We started rattling off some memorable films, and then I suggested Little Big Man the film is one of my very favorites. Then one of my friends did me a huge favor. He said, If you liked the movie, youll love the book. I did know the film was based on Thomas Bergers novel, but frankly, it had never occurred to me to read the actual book. I just finished LITTLE BIG MAN, and it was an exceptional read. This sweeping epic about the pioneer adventures of 111-year-old Jack Crabb--who claims to be the lone white survivor of Little Bighorn--is witty, insightful, poignant, compelling, thrilling, and inspiring. Critics have claimed Berger may have written the finest contemporary novel of the American West; youll get no disagreement from me. Berger definitely did his research when it comes to everything from Indian culture to firearms to the details of both the Washita and Little Bighorn Battles; and the prose, told in Crabbs no-nonsense, direct style, is thoroughly entertaining.Most of us are familiar with the story. As a boy Jack is taken captive by the and becomes the adopted son of Old Lodge Skins, the chief. He becomes immersed in the Cheyenne culture, and by killing a Crow warrior about to kill another Cheyenne boy, he becomes Little Big Man the Legend. As a teen he goes back to the white culture following his band of warriors getting into a skirmish with soldiers; during succeeding years Jack moves back and forth between the two cultures, never feeling a sense of belonging in either. He wears many hats during this period, from mule skinner to teamster to buffalo hunter to gambler; and during his journey he rubs elbows with some colorful characters, including Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, and General George Armstrong Custer. And he survives two massacres: Washita and Little Bighorn, the former a rout by Custers troops; the latter a massacre by thousands of Lakota and Cheyenne braves. He begins a family in both cultures, only to lose both. Yet still Jack is confounded by who he really is, and where he belongs. At the age of 111, he decides to reveal his claim to have survived Little Bighorn because hes too old to care if anyone believes him or not.This is one grand tale that will have you steadily turning page after page. If you enjoyed the film, the book is must-read material. (The film has few deviations.) With the exception of McMurtry I havent wandered very far into the Western genre; with a masterpiece the likes of LITTLE BIG MAN, I might have to sample this genre quite a bit more.--D. Mikels, Esq.
