Patience, patience, because the great movements of history have always begun in those small parenthesis that we call \'in the meantime.\'" --John Berger The last book that John Berger wrote was this precious little volume about Time titled What Time Is It?, now posthumously published for the first Time in English by Notting Hill Editions. "What-is-to-come, what-is-to-be-gained empties what-is..
Berger posits the idea that Time can lengthen lifetimes once we seize the present moment.
We talk of Time "saved" in a hundred household appliances; time, like money, is exchanged for the content it lacks.
It expands and contracts according to the intensity of the lived moment.
Our perception of Time assumes a uniform and ceaseless passing of time, yet Time is turbulent.
Berger, the great art critic and Man Booker Prize-winning author, reflects on What Time has come to mean to us in modern life.
Berger died before it was completed, but the text has been assembled and illustrated by his longTime collaborator and friend Sel uk Demirel, and has an introduction by Maria Nadotti.
What Time Is It? is a profound and playful meditation on the illusory nature of time.
Patience, patience, because the great movements of history have always begun in those small parenthesis that we call \'in the meantime.\'" --John Berger The last book that John Berger wrote was this precious little volume about Time titled What Time Is It?, now posthumously published for the first Time in English by Notting Hill Editions
