Berger digs in the vulnerable earth of human experience, and joins the fragments he uncovers with an eye as sure as an astronomer, a gesture as gentle as a carpenter.

Simon McBurney

Berger is a writer one demands to know more about . . . an intriguing and powerful mind and talent.

New York Times

He handles thoughts the way an artist handles paint. His mind is spattered with colour . . . his writing has a physical reality.

The Times

There is a great stillness in Berger's prose. But after a few pages, his statements start to sing and go on singing.

New Republic

John Berger is genius invisible. His life's work is synonymous with the creation of unforgettable living portraits.
