Little Big Man - novel [1964] - BERGER Thomas
KORTE INHOUD
Pb, in-8, 440 pp.
Introduction by Brooks Landon.
This novel was first published in 1964, when the traditional western Hollywood-movies weren't dead yet.
Hollywood's westerns were pure propaganda and had the hidden purpose of concealing the genocide of the Indian peoples. They built on William F. Cody's traveling Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show (from 1883). It took until 1970 for this to change; the film 'Little Big Man' by Arthur Penn (1922-2010), based on the novel of the same name (1964) by Thomas Berger (1924-2014), showed a very different image of the Indians and the 'US cavalry'. Penn stated that the film comments on the American genocide 'depicting events closest to The Holocaust'.
The film was an important turning point in American cinema.
