A Slide Show of Captured Memories: Inside the Mind of Berger, 14 Jan 2003
The blurb at the back of this book reads, "In his new book John Berger traces in words moments lived in Europe at the end of the millenium. These moments are not fiction. They Happened". Named, 'Photocopies', Berger has written artistically about his traces, almost picturesque memories, a slide show of captured images in his mind, displayed and described in short stories in this treasured little book. A gem of a book, if you read, 'Ways of Seeing', which showed inargubly how exclaiming Berger is as an intellectual critic of art and plain observationalist, your love this book! Not because it is the same but because it is different and displays another side to Berger. A sensitive, emotionable, vulnerbility. Each story almost shrinks you further into his mind, and by the end of the book you realise how sensitive and provocative this slide show trully is. Berger almost wishs he could stay in each story forever and the element of time lays beneath the spine. A tender piece of literature. Berger is trully genius, balancing intellect with his emotion. Stories to lookout for in this book are, 'A Woman on a Bicycle', 'Two Dogs under the Rock' and 'A Girl Like Antigone'. A tender, tender, tender piece. TO BE READ.
