    August 2013 e-ISSN: 1857-8187 p-ISSN: 1857-8179 Research paper Literature The Cheyenne at the Centre of the World: Keywords: 1960s, Plains Indians, The Revisiting 1960s and Thomas Berger’s Little Cheyenne, Thomas Berger, Little Big Man. Big Man Artur Jaupaj Canadian Institute of Technology. Tirana-Albania. Abstract 1960s are typified with “counter-culture revolution” when preconceived, cultural and artistic values were contested and uprooted to be replaced by more liberal and experimental paradigms pertaining to almost all aspects of life and society. Furthermore, the general mistrust towards preconceived and media generated images led to the rise of a new kind of Western labeled the New Western or Post-Western, which undertook to re-present the western experience anew and provide more truthful depictions of how the west was won or lost. In fact, the whole era is best remembered for its aftermath rather than for what was accomplished during those tumultous years. Likewise, Thomas Berger’s Little Big Man (1964), as a predecessor of the era, remains an exemplary novel worth revisiting. To begin with, it depicts for the first time the Plains Indians, The Cheyenne in particular, not simply as “nobel savages” but as human beeings with a well-structured and resourceful cosmology. As such, the novel sets the pace for other literary cross- cultural representations and establishes an anthopological approach of evaluating both cultures, that is, the Indian and the white. In addition, the novel highlights the power of “the circle”3 as compared to the power of “the square”, which makes the Indian culture more tolerant and compatible with present day social and cultural tensions at both individual and community level.

  • 1 William Heath Reinhart in Love: Thomas Berger's Comedy of One
    William Heath Reinhart in Love: Thomas Berger’s Comedy of One-upmanship In 1965 Thomas Berger wrote an article on the madcap comedy of Jonathan Winters, praising him for playing many parts yet being trapped in none and comparing him to one of his favorite authors and acknowledged inspirations: “Dickens, especially, comes to mind, with his many voices, his compulsive rhythms, his fascination with cruelty, his fearlessness.” Berger’s words suggest the sustained improvisations of his own comic art: “comedy is continuous, never finished, never the last word, always another possibility and not a conclusion. If it cannot change actuality, it can offer alternatives, or at least offer mitigating circumstances” (101-3). Berger’s fiction also celebrates the on-going possibilities of existence. He sees himself as a kind of realist of the preposterous, waging a fierce battle with life, trying to match its bungling abundance: Absurdity is a prime characteristic of life. I didn’t invent it. It’s not my idea. I get damn tired of it. I would say about my work, “I am trying to play down the absurdity of life. I’m trying to put a wet blanket on the real asininity of life. I’m trying to make some sense of it. I’m trying to be banal about absurdity.” If the world grew sensible, my career would be finished. I’d have no material. (Interview) The world is not about to mend its ways, however, as Berger’s twenty-three hilarious novels will testify. Of all this distinctive body of work, my favorite remains Reinhart in Love.
