Thomas Louis Berger Books

'I am a white man and never forget it, but I was brought up by the Cheyenne Indians from the age of ten.' So starts the story of Jack Crabb, the 111-year old narrator of Thomas Berger's masterpiece of American fiction. As a "human being", as the Cheyenne called their own, he won the name Little Big Man. He dressed in skins, feasted on dog, loved four wives and saw his people butchered by the horse soldiers of General Custer, the man he had sworn to kill. As a white man, Crabb hunted buffalo, tangled with Wyatt Earp, cheated Wild Bill Hickok and survived the Battle of Little Bighorn. Part-farcical, part-historical, the picaresque adventures of this witty, wily mythomaniac claimed the Wild West as the stuff of serious literature.

Thomas Berger, Autor des Weltbestsellers „Little Big Man – Der letzte Held“, kehrt mit seinem neuen Roman zurück nach Deutschland. In „Abenteuer einer künstlichen Frau“ erzählt er die Geschichte einer ungewöhnlichen weiblichen Karriere, die auch vor dem höchsten Staatsamt nicht Halt macht. Mit Witz und Ironie zeigt Berger, was passiert, wenn Frau nicht tut, was Mann will. Nach jahrelangem Experimentieren gelingt es Ellery Pierce, eine künstliche Frau zu konstruieren, die absolut lebensecht wirkt. Phyllis ist für ihn die perfekte Ehefrau, die ihm jeden Wunsch erfüllt, in der Küche wie im Schlafzimmer. Unglücklicherweise hat er es beim Entwurf zu gut gemeint, denn die Roboterfrau verläßt ihn, um in Hollywood Karriere zu machen. Während die schöne, abgeklärte und äußerst lernfähige Phyllis den American Dream auslebt, geht es mit ihrem Schöpfer abwärts. Doch die künstliche Frau weiß, was sie will: die erste Präsidentin der Vereinigten Staaten werden. „Abenteuer einer künstlichen Frau“ ist die beißend komische Satire auf eine Welt, von der die Männer immer noch glauben, sie hätten sie unter Kontrolle.
