Here Is Where We Meet
John Berger
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group
<p>One of the most widely admired writers of our time returns us to the captivating play and narrative allure of his previous novels--<i>G. </i>and <i>To the Wedding </i>among them--with a shimmering fiction drawn from chapters of his own life.One hot afternoon in Lisbon, the narrator finds his long-dead mother seated on a park bench. "The dead don't stay where they are buried," she tells him. And so begins a remarkable odyssey, told in simple yet gorgeous prose, that carries us from the London Blitz in 1943, to a Polish market, to a Paleolithic cave, to the Ritz Hotel in Madrid. <i>Here Is Where We Meet </i>is a unique literary journey that moves freely through time and space but never loses its foothold in the sensuous present.<br><br><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i></br></br></p>
