One of the most widely admired writers of our time returns us to the captivating play and narrative allure of his previous novels–<i>G. </i>and <i>To the Wedding </i>among them–with a shimmering fiction drawn from chapters of his own life.<br><br>One hot afternoon in Lisbon, the narrator finds his long-dead mother seated on a park bench. “The dead don’t stay where they are buried,” she tells him. And so begins a remarkable odyssey, told in simple yet gorgeous prose, that carries us from the London Blitz in 1943, to a Polish market, to a Paleolithic cave, to the Ritz Hotel in Madrid. <i>Here Is Where We Meet </i>is a unique literary journey that moves freely through time and space but never loses its foothold in the sensuous present.

Though critics can't agree exactly what genre Berger is working in ("autobiographical fiction, fictional autobiography, or maybe a hybrid of breviary, consecration, and ancestor worship," says Harper's), the praise for his writing comes so close to unanimity that classification seems besid...more...]]>

It's been years since I read "Ways of Seeing" for one of my art classes, and when a friend of mine got this for me, I was very excited to see something by Berger again.

Berger is one of my favorite authors and this is his most recent book. It reads like a magic-realism memoir, with wonderful images and wise reflections on life.
