《I Am China》作者
Surely this is not the 90-year-old master's last work.With Confabulations (Penguin), John Berger fashions his brand of reflective and sensual prose into a slim but utterly beautiful book.From Rosa Luxemburg to eel fishermen, from a prisoner painter to Charlie Chaplin, this essay collection can be read in one sitting—which I did in a café.
这当然不会是这位90岁高龄的大师的最后一本著作。《虚构》这本纤薄却又迷人的书里，约翰·白尔杰继续发扬他的招牌风格：引人深思而又感性的散文。从罗莎·卢森堡到鳗鱼捕鱼者，从囚犯画家到查理·卓别林，随处一坐就适合拿出这本随笔集翻开看看——我就是在咖啡厅读的这本书。
You feel his realness: “I picture myself not so much as a consequential, professional writer, but as a stopgap man.” The more I read Berger, the more I adore him.Tell me: why do the best English artists always live outside Britain?
你可以感受到他的真诚。他说，“我不把自己想象成什么重要的、专业的作家，我不过是一个临时凑合事儿的”。越是读约翰·白尔杰，我越是崇拜他。告诉我：为什么最好的英国艺术家总是在英国之外生活？（约翰·白尔杰目前定居在法国）
