Thomas Berger’s modern hero Carlo Reinhart is thrust into the strangest chapter of his life yet
Carlo Reinhart’s life has taken many turns. From his idealistic youth in Crazy in Berlin, to his entrance into adulthood in Reinhart in Love, through his uneasy tumble into middle age in Vital Parts, Reinhart has never lost his philosophical and even-minded disposition. Reinhart’s Women finds Reinhart divorced and living with his daughter, Winona, a successful model. His newest hobby is cooking, and he has become surprisingly accomplished for an amateur. But when he asks a woman over for a homemade lunch, Reinhart’s idyll is shattered. Adventures and misadventures conspire to put his nascent cooking skills to the test—and turn him into a postmodern celebrity. With Reinhart, Berger has created one of the great comic characters of the twentieth century—a man who beautifully represents, and parodies, his moment. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Thomas Berger including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

Review
“Berger [has a] unique ability to turn the shifting social landscape of middle-class America into a kind of epic low comedy: rounder than satire, more dangerously real than farce, and—for all its shrewd glances at trends and customs—exuberantly primal.” —Kirkus Reviews

Thomas Berger (1924–2014) was the bestselling author of novels, short stories, and plays, including the Old West classic Little Big Man (1964) and the Pulitzer Prize–nominated novel The Feud (1983). Berger was born in Cincinnati and served with a medical unit in World War II, an experience that provided the inspiration for his first novel, Crazy in Berlin (1958). Berger found widespread success with his third novel, Little Big Man, and maintained a steady output of critically acclaimed work since then. Several of his novels have been adapted into film, including a celebrated version of Little Big Man. His short fiction has appeared in Harper’s Magazine, Esquire, and Playboy.

A Great Novel by a Great Novelist
By Michael
This is, of course, the fourth Reinhart novel. That it is out of print is a travesty, an abomination, a devastating commentary on the sick state of humanity as a whole.
In this novel, Reinhart has become a cook. Writing a novel is like cooking with memes. It is done for much the same reasons; it is very difficult. But Thos. Berger make it looks easy. I don't know how he does it. It is genius.
Thomas Berger must feel that his characters are too interesting and entertaining to not return to, and he is right. Splendor Mainwaring's son is here, representing his father who is in cryogenic suspension, we hope. (It is my theory that *Robert Crews* is a sequel to *Regiment of Women* perhaps the funniest novel ever written, except for *Neighbors*.)
In a hundred years, surely it will be seen that Reinhart (not Rabbit) is the essential fictional human of the second half of the 20th Century.
I first read *Reinhart's Women* when I was about 34. Then I put it away, knowing--every week that passed in my life--that when I was in my early fifties, I would take it out again, and re-read it. It gave me something to look forward to. After waiting all these years, I have not been disappointed. I wish I could get amnesia so that I could read it again tonight.
Wrongly pigeon-holed by some as a "comic" novelist, or even "black humorist", Berger's themes are large, his fiction is true. He writes novels of imagination (*Changing the Past*, *Being Invisible*, *Regiment of Women*, of history (*Arthur Rex*) and of the human condition). That they are excrutiatingly funny does not mean that they are not excrutiatingly true.
I have read a lot of novels over the years. *Reinhart's Women* is my favorite novel. No one knows women better than Berger, except other women. If you want to know about women, read about Reinhart's.
On the chance that Mr. Berger might read these reviews, I would like to say to him:
Hey! How's Reinhart? Was his TV show a success? Did he marry Edie and give Blaine a kid half-brother or -sister? Did he revivify the restaurant? What about Mercer? What happened to her? Did Genevieve fare better in California than she did in Chicago, and did she ever raise her ugly head again in Southern Ohio (presuming that Reinhart remained there)? Or did everyone simply live happily ever after?
You brought back Jack Crabb. I love Reinhart more. I reallize that the out-of--print status of *Reinhart's Women* may not seem to be too encouraging, but how about this: Mr. Berger, if you write a fifth Reinhart, I will personally give you $100. I am not kidding. michaelbrown@mail.org

Delightful Fun
By Diana Denny
I understand from this book is now out of print, but I am enjoying the library audio version. Carl Reinhart is a middle-aged man who never seemed to make anything of his life. He is divorced, not gainfully employed and lives with (and frankly, off of) his 25-year-old daughter, Winona, who is a successful model. So why do I actually LIKE this guy? Reinhart is very intelligent, philosophical and has a passion for cooking. He is not a professional cook, or professional anything else, of course, but as a self taught amateur has become quite accomplished at the art. The beautiful Wimona eats exceedingly little, but Reinhart is tolerant of that - it IS her job to be slim and gorgeous. He also very much rolls with the flow when he discovers this lovely and beloved daughter is gay.
Actually, "Rolling with the flow" describes Reinhart very well - he just seems to philosophize about life's surprises and mishaps and goes on rolling. The other women in his life include Grace Greenwood, a dynamic executive for a food company (and Winona's "friend") who manages to get Reinhart gainfully employed, first as a food demonstrator at a grocery store, then as a TV chef. In the cooking demonstration job he works with the loose but sweet Helen, who bestows upon Reinhart the same comforting gifts she generously bestows on a few (more than a few?) men. Reinhart, accepting people for what they are is, of course, tolerant of that. Then we have Mercer, his wellborn daughter-in-law who seems to either be "on something" or maybe just not connecting on all cylinders. Being marriend to Reinhart's unfeeling jerk of a son may be the reason. I'm not sure where he's going with Edie Mulhouse (I have a cassette and a half to go), a very large neighbor, but Reinhart has befriended the painfully shy and awkward gal. Is she in love with Reinhart? She seems to worship him. Or maybe she's in love with Winona; such indications are also hinted at. Equally puzzling is Genevieve, Rehihart's ex wife, who appears out of the blue after a decade of no contact with her ex-husband. Why did SHE show up? It appears her purpose in contacting our hero is for the purpose of loudly, embarrassingly and publicly cracking up.

Glad I finally read this
By Roger Berlind
I've had this book for many years but avoided reading it since it is the fourth of a series of Reinhart novels by Berger, the others being "Crazy in Berlin" , "Reinhart in Love", and "Vital Parts" (Berger's first, second, and fifth novels respectively). While I enjoyed other Berger novels such as "Little Big Man", "Killing Time", "Arthur Rex", and "The Return of Little Big Man" very much, I somehow never managed to order the other Reinhart novels.
Last weekend, however, I wanted something fun to read on a flight from JFK to O'Hare so I finally pulled this off the shelf and read it. I'm very glad I did because it is a delightfully charming story. Reinhart is a gem of a character; he is sweet and charming, very philosophical, and noble, especially in the calm way he handles his ratfink son and in the kindness he doles out to those who deserve it. The book is also full of wonderful descriptions of Reinhart's culinary creations which will make you salivate and maybe even want to cook something yourself. (I actually successfully followed Reinhart's instructions for making poached eggs which I had never had before.)
Fortunately, the novel is entirely self-contained and stands on its own; you don't need to read the other Reinhart books first. If you already have a copy, go ahead and read it. If you don't and enjoy amusing stories with good characters, then put this and the other Reinhart novels on your shopping list. I'll definitely be ordering the other books in the series. While they are no longer all in print, you can find copies on Amazon.
