Description & Specifications

A Booker Prize winner, John Berger was a novelist, playwright, essayist, poet, and critic - even his admirers rarely know all of his literary facets. This collection of essays provides, for the first time, a definitive look at his extraordinary career. Far from being footnotes to his main work, Berger's essays are absolutely central to it. Many of the ideas of the groundbreaking book "Ways of Seeing" were initially presented in essays published in New Society. Polemical, reflective, radically original, Berger's wide-ranging essays emphasize the continuous lines that have supported over 40 years of unremitting intellectual inquiry and political engagement. When observed chronologically, they actually add up to a form of indirect autobiography and a history of our times as refracted through the lens of art. Curated by Geoff Dyer, and published on the occasion of his 75th birthday, this is a necessary collection from one of the world's greatest writers.
