Berger speaks out after nine years

19.02.08 | Philip Jones

Art critic and novelist John Berger is moving from Bloomsbury to Verso, which will publish his first novel in nine years this autumn. Editor Tom Penn bought world rights direct from the 82-year-old former Booker Prize winner.

From A to X focuses on A'ida and Xavier whose lives are torn apart as war encroaches on their village.
