Reader reviews for G
Review summary
Readers widely describe John Berger’s G. as an experimental, postmodern collage that splices fiction with essays, authorial asides, and abrupt shifts across early 20th?century Europe. Many praise its luminous, painterly prose and vivid historical set pieces—especially the aviation chapters—and find its meditations on love, desire, politics, and art provocative. Yet a substantial number are frustrated by the fragmented structure, the self-inserting narrator, and what they view as didactic or dated theorizing. The Don Juan–like protagonist and the novel’s sexual politics divide opinion: for some insightful or darkly comic, for others sexist, unpleasant, or emotionally hollow. Overall, it’s seen as challenging and polarizing—admired for ambition and ideas, but alienating for many in execution.
