3. Mass Migration and a True Home

Available for 30 days

John Berger explores the psychic impact of mass migration and how, once lost, the sense of a true home can rarely be regained. Simon McBurney reads Berger's most personal book: part essay, part poetry collection, part memoir and love letter. McBurney also shares memories of John Berger and the house and landscape that inspired the book in the early 1980s. Harriet Walter reads his poetry. Abridged and produced by Simon Richardson. First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in April 2017.
