"I admire and love John Berger's books. He writes about what is important, not just interesting--in contemporary English letters, he seems to be peerless; 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 "This book is ever more timely." --Geoff Dyer "His most remarkable book" -- Economist "I found opening A Seventh Man again troubling, even mournful. Because its prescience is matched by its nuance.This is why Berger is such a significant presence, still. He was a writer beyond the noble occupation of the critic, not just in the forms of literature he engaged in but in his wide-ranging, generation-traversing humanity.

" --Ben Luke, The Art Newspaper "Today, A Seventh Man emerges as a prescient work, when read against a sea of startling images arriving all the time from Lesvos, Lampedusa, the US southern border, the Rafa? crossing. Yet the book is also of a piece with experimental art of its own era. Joshua Sperling, author of A Writer of Our Time , sees its abrupt cuts and shifts in perspective in the vein of Jean-Luc Godard and the militant Dziga Vertov Group." --Nicholas Gamso, e-flux.
