G.

by John Berger

Published 8 June 1972
Winner of the 1972 Booker Prize, this work centres on G, who seems impervious to everything around him. His interests are purely sexual, his crowning ideal, fulfilment. Yet in the end this is enough - for the politics of desire to expose the criminal politics of oppression. Berger has also written "Pig Earth" and "The White Bird".

Pig Earth

by John Berger

Published 1 January 1979
Set in a small village in the French Alps, "Pig Earth" relates the stories of sceptical, hard-working men and fiercely independent women. This book is an act of reckoning that conveys the precise wealth and weight of a world we are losing.
