Another lovely gift from my friend Jim (thanks). Many years ago I read John Berger’s [b:Ways of Seeing|2784|Ways of Seeing|John Berger|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1464018308l/2784._SY75_.jpg|2507145]. It was a revelation to me that he was also a fine novelist. I was immediately, enthralled at this story’s lyrical trajectory, as well as by its insightful passages.
Certain men are born hosts and they find it difficult to be either guests or spectators. Such men often lead rather solitary lives – gangsters, deep-sea fishermen, cattle dealers. p. 176
But I was also (at first) confused about whose voice I was hearing. Was it the blindman or Ninon or..? Soon, I just relaxed and went with it as I realised this voice was everywhere. I love it when the depth of writer's knowledge make cross-references that lead to treats like the poems of Marina Tsvetaeva.

There is a clever magic to Berger's writing which led to many pauses for thinking. Always a sense of the past and how it reverberates within us all. As if we are all dancing to some primal music of humanity. As if the past travels up through our feet into our bodies.
The guests start to touch each other more often, the jokes pass quicker. When someone forgets, someone else remembers for him or her. They hold hands when they laugh. p.185.
She fixes her eyes on the drummer called Fats. He has the striking leanness that sometimes goes with percussion. To play a battery well, a man listens all the time to silence, until it splits itself open into rhythms, eventually into every conceivable rhythm. It does this because time is not a flow but a sequence of pulses. Listening to that silence often makes a man's body thin. p. 192.

Looking at my bookshelves, I see I have John Berger's Booker Prize winning [b:G.|15943771|G.|John Berger|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1483851739l/15943771._SY75_.jpg|295874]. I think that might be next...

An interesting collaboration between Berger and an artist, S. Demirel. It is a meditation on the subject of time and provides interesting epigrams and drawings which provoke other thoughts. Enjoyable to dip in and out of for a morsel of reflection. If there is a unifying theme beyond "time is inexorable and mysterious" I don't know what that would be.

John Berger revolucionó nuestra manera de ver el arte, la sociedad y la naturaleza, animándonos a mirar el mundo como si se tratara de la primera vez. Este libro es una buena muestra de ello: variando en tono desde la anécdota tierna hasta el ensayo profundo, el ganador del Premio Booker se pregunta cómo y por qué nos hemos vuelto incapaces de ver realmente a los animales, a los que hemos convertido en muñecos, juguetes y personajes de cuentos infantiles. Berger nos ofrece un diagnóstico, pero también una salida: la solidaridad entre oprimidos, la creación de un lenguaje común y una nueva mirada emancipadora tanto para el que mira como para el que es mirado.

Este volumen recoge los ensayos, algunos inéditos en castellano, que Berger dedicó a nuestra relación con los animales y a diversas luchas sociales en un libro que muestra una vez más la sensibilidad y el compromiso del autor en temas de intensa relevancia actual.
