Reviews

"Inspiring, challenging and rewarding. -- Carl Wilkinson * Financial Times * Characteristically sui generis. -- Nick Wroe * Guardian * ""Electric with thought and energy... Berger's words and images, rendered serene by age and habit, provide an exhilarating and unflinching account of global devastation and ordinary life."" -- Colin MacCabe * New Statesman * ""Displays his trademark lyrical precision."" -- Meaghan Delahunt * Scotsman, books of the year * ""The book coheres because Berger's is a humane and uniquely confiding voice, and this voice is co-extensive with his skill as a draftsman. The two attributes act in concert with Spinoza's enigmatic philosophical propositions. All three constitute a singular act of witness."" -- Teju Cole * New York Times * ""This beautifully produced book, illustrated with Berger's drawings, is as much a meditation on the art of drawing as a commentary on philosophy...Whether he is writing about art or about the oppressed, Berger is a dab hand at what might be called semi-mystical exegesis. His stories are often like fables, and his explication - colourfully grounded but picaresque - is admirably lucid."" * The Art Newspaper *"
