"Berger's is a humane and uniquely confiding voice, and this voice is coextensive with his skill as a draftsman. The two attributes act in concert with Spinoza's enigmatic philosophical propositions" --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 "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 "Inspiring, challenging and rewarding." --Carl Wilkinson, Financial Times "Characteristically sui generis." --Nick Wroe, Guardian "Displays his trademark lyrical precision.


" --Meaghan Delahunt, Scotsman, books of the year.
