Corker's Freedom - Softcover

It is the unforgettable, often comical portrait of a dreamer, one William Corker, the genteel proprietor of a London employment agency, who, in his sixty-third year, has just moved out of the house he shared with his overbearing sister. As Corker takes his first steps into a life of the passions, Berger creates a character of astonishing depth and liveliness- a man whose fantasies and ambitions are at once splendid and tragic.

Storyteller, essayist, novelist, screenwriter, dramatist and critic, John Berger is one of the most internationally influential writers of the last fifty years. His many books include Ways of Seeing, the fiction trilogy Into Their Labours, Here Is Where We Meet and, most recently, Hold Everything Dear.
