John Berger was born in London in 1926. He is well known for his novels and stories as well as for his works of nonfiction, including several volumes of art criticism. His first novel, A Painter of Our Time, was published in 1958, and since then his books have included the novel G., which won the Booker Prize in 1972, and the Into Their Labours trilogy, which is composed of Pig Earth (1979), Once in Europa (1987), and Lilac and Flag. His six volumes of essays include The Sense of Sight (1985), Ways of Seeing (1972), and About Looking (1980).
In 1962 Berger left Britain permanently, and he now lives in a small village in the French Alps.
