5.0 out of 5 stars A timeless gem on life, love, transition and belonging, 7 Dec 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos (Paperback)
This book was given to me almost twenty years ago, and truly stands the test of time. It is an unusual work, which cannot be categorised easily, as it comprises essays, poetry, reviews and philosophy in one small and perfect volume which has no equal that I know of. There is a raw and very moving account of first love in the description of a parcel being sent, which combines the purity of feeling with the immediate sense of recognition that the moment is transient, but in such a way that it does not diminish the emotion experienced. The elusiveness of being, and attempts to momentarily capture, describe, record or explain it is a recurring thread within this book, and is reflected on in a variety of ways; personal experience, historical polemic, art, poems and stories. The language and semantics are breathtakingly apt and timeless. I am not someone who enthuses about "lifechanging" experiences of any kind, but this book made a profound influence on me 19 years ago, and continues to do so whenever I revisit the texts. The second part, which touches on migration, home, and belonging is as relevant in today's world as it was when written. I believe it strikes a chord because the author manages to convince the reader that the passion which informed the writing was true, and based on a strong sense of genuine care and feeling. I felt privileged to have been given this book, and have continued to buy it for people who have touched my life. Some have understood. And, if nothing else: is this not the most wonderful title ever?

5.0 out of 5 stars Agreed, it is a truly excellent read, 9 April 2007
By Jen "jay214" (West Yorks) - See all my reviews
This review is from: And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos (Paperback)
Like the other two reviewers I agree this is an excellent read that many will probably pass by, but that would be a huge mistake. A reflection on time and space in relation to love pulled together by poetry, philosophy...it's so hard to describe you need to read it! Possibly one of the most beautiful interpretations of love ever, in the chapter with the description of the lilac in the sunlight. It made my heart go a little bit funny and I'm absolutely not a sentimental person. I'm off to peruse his other writings on amazon now - you should be heading to the checkout with this book. An ideal present for avid readers too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 3 July 2006
This review is from: And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos (Paperback)
This is a short, beautiful love letter of a book, written to someone who is never named. As berger tells the reader on the first page, Part One is about Time. Part Two is about space. And Our Faces... takes the form of poetry and prose, observation and philosophy, it develops by theme and comes to deal with reconciliation of death. Each passage is a snapshot, written with a sparce economy which is vivid and often moving. This book will pass many people by because it does not fit easily into any category, but it deserves to be read for its beauty and clarity.

I thought it was a very sensitive, poetic book. Berger obviously knows a lot of things and has thought deeply on many subjects, and he can write well enough to convey his passions... Read more
