"Praise for John Berger and Sel uk Demirel ""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 ""In his ceaselessly inventive work, Sel uk often uses parts of the body in ways that are characteristically Turkish...as if the comedy of the human condition were there in the human body, in the melancholy of anatomy.""--John Berger Praise for Cataract ""I love this small book of intricate insight.""--Michael Ondaatje"
