Page "John Berger" Paragraph 11

In recent essays Berger has written about photography, art, politics, and memory ; he published in The Shape of a Pocket a correspondence with Subcomandante Marcos, and written short stories appearing in the Threepenny Review and The New Yorker.

His sole volume of poetry is Pages of the Wound, though other volumes such as the theoretical essay And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos contain poetry as well as prose.

His recent novels include To the Wedding, a love story dealing with the AIDS crisis stemming from his own familial experience, and King: A Street Story, a novel on homeless and shantytown life told from the perspective of a street dog.

Berger initially insisted that his name be kept off the cover and title page of King, wanting the novel to be received on its own merits.
