'Here Is Where We Meet is recognisably of a genre that Berger long ago made his own: the rich amalgam of novel, essay and autobiography. It seems very much a genre of the future. Where a comparable writer, W. G. Sebald, always risked a certain nostalgia in his invention of an erudite, time-travelling persona, Berger reads as if he is reaching for forms as yet not invented'

New Statesman

'Berger's clarity, passion and independence put him closer to the heart of things than many a more famous name'

Mail on Sunday

'Poetic, philosophical and profound ... One of our best living British writers'
