SUMMARY
"It is a daunting task to find some way of coming to terms with such a rich and extensive body of work, all of it marked by Berger's unflagging seriousness, his insistence on somehow merging personal response, social insight, aesthetic theory and political commentary. Every piece is rigorously thought through but also heartfelt, sometimes almost embarrassingly so....I keep having to remind myself that Berger, despite his concentrated seriousness, is quite capable of breaking out of the box, seeing things in unexpected new ways, becoming excited by the unusual and the perverse and the eccentric....This is the Berger I admire most, a man who is at home anywhere, curious, intense, always on the side of the underdog and the eccentric, always thrilled by creativity.Berger, John is the author of 'Selected Essays' with ISBN 9780375421563 and ISBN 0375421564.
