lsquo;John Berger has made the world a better place to live in. These essays tell us how he succeeded in that task.rsquo;Arundhati RoyIn this collection of essays on the work of; and conversations with; John Berger; thirty-seven of his friends; artistic collaborators and followers come together to form the first truly international and cross-cultural celebration of his interventions.Berger has for decades; through his poetic humanism; brought together geographically; historically and socially disparate subjects. His work continues to throw out lifelines across genres; times and types of experience; opening up radical questions about the meaning of belonging and of community. In keeping with this spirit and in celebration of Berger; the short essays in A Jar of Wild Flowers challenge us all to take the brave step from limited sympathy to extended generosity.With contributions from Ali Smith; Julie Christie; Sally Potter; Ram Rahman; Jean Mohr; Nick Thorpe; Hsiao-Hung Pai and many others.
