	Thomas Berger Profile - BOOK WORLD
		Thomas Berger's book-jacket photo has remained the same since the mid-seventies, although it has been ever more tightly cropped, revealing finally not much more than a striking shaved head, penetrating eyes, large nose, and cleft chin--easily the head of a Roman emperor or a professional wrestler.
		Appropriately enough, Berger's age (now seventy-nine) is almost impossible to determine from this photo, as it is from his recent novels, which unfailingly reference contemporary phenomena such as the Internet but never limit action, character, themes, or language to topical concerns.
		Berger was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1924 and grew up in the nearby community of Lockland, where he attended the same public school from kindergarten through high school.

	Ohio Reading Road Trip \| Thomas Berger Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Berger worked his way through high school and college at local libraries; he worked as a librarian while enrolled at Columbia as well.
		Berger won both the Western Heritage Award and Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Award (National Institute of Arts and Letters) in 1965 for Little Big Man; he was also nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1984 for his book The Feud, about an overblown fight and the life-altering, destructive, and vengeful acts it spawned.
		Berger's career as a writer is long and varied; in addition to novels, he has written plays, academic texts, and a collection of short stories.

	Voice Literary Supplement: Uncertainty Principal
		Berger engages with Kafka's influence at a more native and universal level, by grasping the way Kafka reconstructed fictional time and causality to align it with his emotional and philosophical reservations about human life.
		Berger's as brilliant a student of American talk as Nabokov or DeLillo, and his favorite sentences, especially in dialogue, pivot on fragments of tabloid squawk elevated into odd majesty by their surrounding syntax.
		Fate is for the embracing: As a Berger policeman once wisely remarked, "Death can happen to anyone." And just when Bergerian loneliness seems ubiquitous, contact is unexpectedly made, and though Berger's sex scenes are often barren and harsh, his tender evocations of romantic yearning may be the least appreciated aspect of his books.

	Best Friends by Thomas Berger - review
		Thomas Berger is a well-established author having written twenty-three other novels in the past 46 years.
		Berger’s exploration into this friendship is extremely thought provoking, which completely draws the reader in.
		When I first started the novel, Berger’s prose style and language use gave me the impression that there would be parts of the novel that would drag but this was not the case at all.

		...In the shifting landscape of Thomas Berger, man is constant, that is to say, hopelessly the prisoner of himself and his pathetically limited vision...
		...As a rule, Berger's prose is dense, tightly packed, and intensely formal, his sentences and paragraphs tend to be long and serpentine, and when he gives us a fragmentary sentence or a short paragraph it is a little event on the page, a form of super-punctuation...
		...Berger is hard going and he has yet to win the endorsement of the upper stratum of the literary community which has induced the public to buy-if not perhaps actually to read-works by such variously difficult writers as Nabokov and Bellow...

		Berger: Well, the Supreme Court of Canada in 1973 said that aboriginal rights really flow from the fact that before the white people came to this country, native societies governed with their own rules and customs.
		Berger: Well, it seems to me that native people are rightly resentful of the way they were treated by the Prime Minister and the premiers.
		Berger: Well, if you acknowledge that the Metis are one of the aboriginal peoples of Canada, you have to agree that they have the right to determine their own membership.

	Preface to Thomas Berger
		Berger's writing, more than that of any other novelist, raises for me the issues that seem most important, whether of language, of literature, or of experience itself.
		Berger's ever-growing number of devoted readers know how difficult a task it is to describe his writing.
		The reader who thinks Berger approves of Russel Wren's echoing the received idea that objectivity is the goal of referential writing is in for as big a surprise as is the reader who thinks Berger is mocking Saint Sebastian's scholars.

	Thomas Berger: from Chapter One
		Berger has persisted in the writing of novels that are aggressively intelligent and consistently resistant to the twin sentimentalities of idealism and despair.
		The underlying thesis of this book, however, is that the interpretation of Berger's novels is the study of his style and that the discussion of meaning really centers on the ways in which a reader experiences his writing.
		When Berger suggests that only the "selfish" reader will get the most out of his work, he explicitly spells out what his novels implicitly demand: far from encouraging readers to "lose" themselves in fiction, the novels challenge their readers to become conscious of themselves in the act of reading.

	Metroactive Books \| Thomas Berger
		Berger's unlikely hero, Jack Crabb, was orphaned as a child of 10 by Cheyenne Indians on a whiskey tear.
		Jack was raised by the Cheyenne, but "I am a white man and never forgot it." Traveling across the West and moving back and forth between the two cultures, Jack led a life that was a cutaway view of the frontier at its wildest period in the 1870s.
		He had, it appears, a great many more stories to tell about his years on the frontier, from the inside story of the death of Wild Bill (Jack was supposed to be watching his back) to the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (a drunken Doc Holliday started it all) to the murder of Sitting Bull.

	Powell's Books - Review-a-Day - Best Friends by Thomas Berger, reviewed by Salon.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It's easier to describe what's wrong with Best Friends than what's right about it, but Thomas Berger's new novel is a compelling little tale of love and betrayal that draws you in rapidly and pulls you along effortlessly toward the last page.
		To some extent Berger tells the story of how this debt is ultimately repaid in an unexpected, almost mythological manner, although neither man consciously notices the connection between the money and what comes later.
		Berger's third-person narrative voice is closely linked to Roy's point of view, which isn't the obvious choice but creates most of the story's dramatic tension.

		The quotations concerning Berger’s interest in writing plays are included here to draw attention to a neglected aspect of his career and to make the point that serious writers have been driven from the theater because it has been impossible for their work to be produced.
		Berger was living in London at the time—autumn and winter of 1967.

	Berger, Thomas. The Return of Little Big Man.
		After 34 years, Berger publishes a sequel to his first and greatest success, the ostensible reminiscences of a 112-year-old man. Jack Crabb says he grew up among the Cheyenne, who dubbed him Little Big Man; knew the likes of Wyatt Earp and Wild Bill Hickok; and is the only white survivor of Custer's Last Stand.
		He resumes his story shortly after that battle, trudging to the Dakota Territory, where he meets his old pal Wild Bill in time to be his bodyguard when Bill is shot in the back while playing poker.
		Berger keeps both entertainment and historical value high as he continues the most virtuosic and satisfying novel written in the American vernacular since Huckleberry Finn.

	Being Invisible by Thomas Berger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Berger's wimpy protagonist Fred Wagner, a would-be novelist employed to write ad copy for schlocky novelty merchandise, proves unequal to his creator's admittedly intriguing premise.
		Fred himself has as much as he can handle with the blowsy redhead who is his neighbor and the featherbrained colleague who can't write her way out of a subordinate clause.
		In subject and tone, Berger's novel is similar to Charles Simmons's Powdered Eggs (1964), but it is less innovative in style and narrative technique.

		Thomas B. Johnson was born in Omaha, Nebraska to parents of Swedish extraction.
		If we were to thoroughly mix the red and blue pigment the effect would still be purple, but without the movement or shimmer, as there would be no sensory interplay between the colors.
		Through the generosity of his widow, Fay Sherwin Johnson, most of Thomas Johnson's work is now the property of the Nebraska State Historical Society, and his paintings, many of which depict Nebraska scenes that no longer exist, have been displayed extensively in recent years.

		Berger's slyly humorous story is about a used car dealer who hires his mechanic to kill his wife so he can move in with bimbo girlfriend.
		Like much of Berger's fiction, the novel gradually reveals the craziness under the surface of seemingly normal daily life.
		Berger is known for his series of comic novels about Carlo Reinhart (CRAZY IN BERLIN, REINHART IN LOVE, and VITAL PARTS) and his 1964 novel, LITTLE BIG MAN, a satire of the American myth of the West, which was made into a popular movie starring Dustin Hoffman.

		I have read all of the Reinhart series and most of the rest of Thomas Berger's novels.

		Berger's novel is history written from the conquered's point of view.

		Berger created a spin-off character, Jack Crabbe, who claimed to be none of these, but managed to be present for a surprising number of pivotal events of the 19th Century.
		Berger has done a signal job of turning over the rocks of history, finding twists and turns normally not part of the legends, and weaving them into a character and plot unsurpassed in American historical fiction.
		Little Big Man/Jack Crabb continually bounces between the two cultures, belonging to neither, getting solace nowhere, torn by his "white tendencies" when he is with the Indians and by his Indian sensibilities when he is with the white.

		However, he was belligerent and this aspect of his personality led to conflicts with fur traders with the North West Company.
