'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 us to what is 'true, essential and urgent'.

john berger's mind is a place i'd want to live in forever :') in confabulations, he writes with an endearing voice that is honest, sincere, and still full of curiosity about language that is both articulated and inarticulated. to live with berger's view of the world must be a truly wonderful and fulfilling experience and here in confabulations, we are given the chance to do just that.
