Review
"One of the world's most influential art critics... and one of the most original of contemporary thinkers... Berger's ability to see something clearly, with fresh surprise yet profound understanding, makes his writing singularly moving and informative." -- Washington Times
"Berger's mind travels the globe, and its range is astonishing . . . unfailingly interesting."--New York Times Book Review.About the Author

"What kind of book is Keeping a Rendezvous - a collection of essays or a memoir? In it, John Berger describes dancing with a bear, looking at a painting, being gazed at by the apes at the zoo in Basle, riding a motorbike, studiying Henry Moore's hands, witnwssing the stautes of communism's heroes being toppled: twenty-five encounters, or rendezvous, which, owing to the reflection or the feeling they occasion, have come to acquire some kind of extraordinary meaning. Keeping a Rendezvous is among John Berger's most personal and revealing books.". Seller Inventory # 14148
