In this essential volume, Geoff Dyer has brought together a rich selection of many of Berger&#8217;s seminal essays. <br><br>Berger&#8217;s insights make it impossible to look at a painting, watch a film, or even visit a zoo in quite the same way again. The vast range of subjects he addresses, the lean beauty of his prose, and the keenness of his anger against injustice move us to view the world with a new lens of awareness. Whether he is discussing the singleminded intensity of Picasso&#8217;s <i>Guernica,</i> the parallel violence and alienation in the art of Francis Bacon and Walt Disney, or the enigmatic silence of his own mother, what binds these pieces throughout is the depth and fury of Berger&#8217;s passion, challenging us to participate, to protest, and above all, to see. 51616 2001 Selected Essays total:60|5:30|4:21|3:7|2:2|1:0| 60 259 101 9 5 0 false false Thu Oct 01 17:18:56 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 17:24:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Sep 05 13:46:05 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 13:46:58 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Oct 15 01:43:33 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 15 02:14:49 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Mar 30 16:41:43 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 16:57:29 -0700 2008
