Rent Here Is Where We Meet: A Story of Crossing Paths

Synopsis

This unclassifiable book--part memoir, part essay, part novel--from English expatriate writer John Berger crosses the European continent to provide settings for a series of episodes, many of which are centered on people who have died. From an afternoon in Lisbon spent with his long-dead mother, to an interlude by the Szum river in Poland with an old friend, to a stop with his daughter Katya at the grave of Jorge Luis Borges in Geneva, Berger--or a man with his name--revisits crucial moments in his own life and in the cultural history of the world.
