20. júl 1924 – 13. júl 2014
Thomas Berger bol americký prozaik, pravdepodobne najlepšie známy svojim pikareskným románom, ktorý bol sfilmovaný Arthurom Pennom. Berger počas svojej kariéry skúmal a manipuloval s mnohými žánrami fikcie, vrátane kriminálneho románu, drsného detektívneho príbehu, sci-fi, utopického románu, ako aj prepisov klasickej mytológie, artušovskej legendy a dobrodružstva o prežití. Jeho využitie humoru a často ostrý vtip viedli mnohých recenzentov k tomu, aby ho označovali za satirika alebo „komického“ prozaika, hoci toto zaradenie odmietal.
