NY, Dial, 1964. His most famous novel, a tragicomic history of the American West, which was immortalized on film. Winner of the Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Foundation Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters -- given for a work that, while not being a commercial success, is nonetheless a substantial literary achievement. Inscribed by Berger to film director Tony Bill "with admiration and every good wish." A fine copy in a very near fine dust jacket with a small amount of rubbing to the front panel and modest puckering to the spine. One of the nicest copies we've seen, and a good association copy between Berger, whose book was memorably filmed by Arthur Penn in 1970, and Bill, who won an Oscar for producing "The Sting" in 1973.
