Thomas Berger, R. I. P.

NYTimes.com: Thomas Berger, the reclusive and bitingly satirical novelist who explored the myths of the American West in “Little Big Man” and the mores of 20th-century middle-class society in a shelf of other well-received books, died on July 13 in Nyack, N.Y. He was 89.

I have the sequel, but I've never read it. I liked three or four of his other novels, too.

One of my favorite writers. Little Big Man, Arthur Rex, The Reinhart novels, Neighbors, Sneaky People.

I liked Little Big Man, too, but the portrayal of Custer was ridiculous.
