This is a difficult book to describe so here is the start of the New Yorker review for it back in 2005 to help me out!
There is something about John Bergers writing that is contemplative, perceptive but kind. The way he connects with the world and shares it has a kind of grace. Here he is an elderly man and using the contrivance of meeting and conversing with different ghosts to work out some philosophy or life lessons. ⬇️
Centique But it is more subtle than that, he is interacting with the places he visits and capturing all manner of detail. It is a strange little creature this book, a series of impressions and conversations but it appeals to me a lot. 2y
charl08 I love your description but my attempts to read Berger have not been successful! 2y
Centique @charl08 I think his novel is much more readable if you ever want to try that! 2y
