“the very best novel ever about the American West,” John Berger’s Little Big Man exhibits the writer’s interest in satirizing genres such as the western, detective thriller and war novel (New York Times Book Review). Berger’s western “is a fanciful parody of the Old West myth presented through the life of the ancient frontiersman Jack Crabb, kidnapped by Indians from an emigrant wagon and eventually a participant in Custer’s last stand” (Hart, 43). Winner of the Rosenthal Foundation Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Basis for the 1970 film directed by Arthur Penn, starring Dustin Hoffman, Chief Dan George, Faye Dunaway, Martin Balsam, Jeff Corey and Richard Mulligan.
