*Observer*
I admire and love John Berger's books ... Not since Lawrence has
there been a writer who offers such attentiveness to the sensual
world with responsiveness to the imperatives of conscience. He is a
wonderful artist and thinker.
*Susan Sontag*
John Berger teaches us how to think, how to feel, how to stare at
things till we see what we thought wasn't there. But above all he
teaches us how to love in the face of adversity. He is a
master.
*Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things*
Berger is a writer one demands to know more about ... an intriguing
and powerful mind and talent.
*New York Times*
Berger's is a humane and uniquely confiding voice.
*Teju Cole*
Powerful polemicist and precise poet.
*Times*
Berger is never less than eloquent... a heartfelt advocate of those
without hope.
*Metro*
Any book by John Berger is an event . admirers will recognise the
characteristic blend of sympathy and lucidity, directness of
address, human warmth, and cosmopolitan example.
