Cataract by John Berger

Cataract by John Berger

What happens when an art critic loses some of his sight to cataracts? What wonders are glimpsed once vision is restored? In this impressionistic essay written in the spirit of Montaigne, John Berger, whose treatises on seeing have shaped cultural and media studies for four decades, records the effects of cataract removal operations on each of his eyes. With words by John Berger and beautiful illustrations by Turkish artist Selçuk Demirel that complement the text, Cataract is a collaborative collectors’ piece that is perfect for every reader’s bedside table.

"First published in 2011, when Berger was 84, this book is a kind of late-life accompaniment to Berger’s Ways of Seeing, which remains for many the definitive guide to how to look at a work of artIn Cataract, Berger puts words to the simplest of human actions in a manner so, well, eye-opening that you’ll never, uh, see seeing the same way again."  —Dan Kois, Slate
