Proving that Westerns don't always have to be self-serious, Thomas Berger's Little Big Man is an epic satire about a 111-year-old man telling the story of his long and adventurous life. From being raised as part of a Native American tribe to a tussle with Wyatt Earp, there's nothing Jack Webb hasn't done — and he's happy to relay his story with an irreverent tone that's been drawing readers in since 1964.
