Description

John Berger, novelist, artist, essayist and creator of ‘Ways of Seeing’, reveled in challenging  preconceptions about art and society. An early populist oracle, Berger pioneered the reflexive and witty style that has become familiar in contemporary criticism. Geoff Dyer, bestselling novelist and critic in his mold, wrote his first book ‘Ways of Telling’ in 1986 on Berger’s life and legacy. Dyer joins the UnHerd Academy for an exclusive live masterclass.
