With the poetic acuity that renders his work timeless, Booker Prize-winning author John Berger brings us a 24-hour chronicle of homelessness. Beside a highway, in a wasteland furnished with smashed trucks and broken washing machines, lives a vagrant community of once-hopeful individuals, now abandoned by the twentieth century.
King, our narrator, is the guardian of a homeless couple, stealing meat from the butcher and sharing the warmth of his flesh. His canine sensibility affords him both amnesty from human hardship and rare insight into his companions' lives.Through his senses we see--clearly and unsentimentally--the dignity and strength that can survive within chaos and pain.

意大利的節日氣氛寫得很喜歡。不是Berger的最佳。沉重深厚的歷史及作傢本人強烈且浪漫的無政府主義傾嚮。
評分挺有意思的一個小本子
