1960s are best noted as turbulent years when an amount of accumulated and repressed energy broke loose to flood all the preconceived absolutes and mediabased mentalities. However, the commonly labeled age of suspicion, has been more acclaimed for its aftermath and lasting impact than for what the socalled counterculture revolution really accomplished during those years. Therefore, the apparently strikingly Western novels, that is, Thomas Bergers Little Big Man (1964), Ishmael Reeds Yellow Back Radio BrokeDown (1969) and E. L. Doctorows Welcome to Hard Times (1960) exemplify outstanding examples of the New Western or PostWestern launched in the 1960s. As such, each in its own way and yet on similar terms, the abovementioned works blend both Western and metafictional elements into a more sustainable fictional and mythical entities thus revealing alternative and more intriguing Western histories (lower case). Above all, they revitalize the literature of exhaustion and silence, as John Barth and Ihab Hassan respectively labeled it in the 1960s, by creating real fiction out of the remnants of the outdated genre.
