''Language is a body, a living creature ... and this creature's home is the inarticulate as well as the articulate''. John Berger's work has revolutionized the way we understand visual language. In this new book he writes about language itself, and how it relates to thought, art, song, storytelling and political discourse today. Also containing Berger's own drawings, notes, memories and reflections on everything from Albert Camus to global capitalism, Confabulations takes usto what is 'true, essential and urgent'. A new sequence of pieces and sketches from one of the most stimulating and influential writers of our time, publishing in time for his 90th birthday on November 5th. Fully illustrated in colour throughout, with John Berger's own artwork.
