On Mar 11 2016, Thewordygecko said:
A truly life-changing reading experience, Berger's writing is beautiful in its poetry and humanity, and Mohr's photographs revealing and earthy. One of my favourite books, it does have special resonances for those who have anything to do with the treatment of ill people, or who have been ill themselves. Outstanding book in an exceptionally good body of work by Berger and Mohr.
