Description
Cataract is an impressionistic essay that explores the effects of cataract removal operations on the author's vision. Written in the spirit of Montaigne, John Berger records his experiences and ponders how we can become accustomed to a loss of sense until a dulled world becomes the norm.
With acute attention to sensory detail, Berger describes the sudden richness of reawakened sight, creating a vivid and differentiated way of seeing. The book is accompanied by witty illustrations from Selçuk Demirel, which bring a whimsical touch to the narrative.
This collaborative work completes a trilogy between John Berger and Selçuk Demirel, following on from Smoke (2018) and What Time Is It? (2019). A thoughtful and introspective read, Cataract is an ideal companion for anyone looking to pay close attention to their senses.
