<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>"The truth is always made up of little particulars which sound ridiculous when repeated."</i> So says Jack Crabb, the 111-year-old narrator of Thomas Berger's 1964 masterpiece of American fiction, <i>Little Big Man</i>. Berger claimed the Western as serious literature with this savage and epic account of one man's extraordinary double life.</b> <p/>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 Cheyenne, he feasts on dog, loves four wives, and sees his people butchered by horse soldiers commanded by General George Armstrong Custer. Later, living as a white man once more, he hunts the buffalo to near-extinction, tangles with Wyatt Earp, cheats Wild Bill Hickok, and fights in the Battle of Little Bighorn alongside Custer himself--a man he'd sworn to kill. Hailed by <i>The Nation</i> as "a seminal event," <i>Little Big Man</i> is a singular literary achievement that, like its hero, only gets better with age. <p/><b>Praise for <i>Little Big Man</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> "An epic such as Mark Twain might have given us."<b>--Henry Miller</b> <p/> "The very best novel ever about the American West."<b>--<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b> <p/> "Spellbinding . . .
