What happens when cataracts rob an art critic of his sight? John Berger, whose classic book Ways of Seeing has been in print for fifty years, joins forces with Turkish illustrator Selcuk Demirel to reflect on his own experience of loss of vision. 'John Berger writes about what is important, not just interesting. In contemporary English letters he seems to me peerless; not since Lawrence has there been a writer who offers such attentiveness to the sensual world.' Susan Sontag.

John Berger, whose classic book Ways of Seeing has been in print for fifty years, joins forces with Turkish illustrator Selcuk Demirel to reflect on his own experience of loss of vision
"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 art. In 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
