A Fortunate Man: The Story of a Country Doctor by John Berger

4.0

Oof. I mean, I genuinely respect Berger but the way he sees women is utterly alien and he barely considers us the same species as himself. I realise he wrote in a different time but for a guy credited with insight into how culture affects our ways of seeing, he doesn’t seem to have spotted his bias here. It makes a book about the humanity of a doctor a bit of a difficult read. When he talks about his female patients, he might as well be a vet.
