Description
Language is a body, a living creature. Its home is in both the inarticulate and the articulate. In this new work, John Berger explores language itself, its relationship to thought, art, song, storytelling, and political discourse today. The result is a deeply personal and insightful exploration of what it means to communicate effectively. Berger's writing is accompanied by his own drawings, notes, memories, and reflections on a wide range of subjects, from the nature of reality to the impact of global capitalism. Through Confabulations, Berger invites us to consider the power of language in shaping our understanding of the world and ourselves.
