Lapwing & Fox is a series of conversations in the form of letters and small books sent between two friends, writer and critic John Berger and artist and film-maker John Christie.
As well as the close scrutiny of works by Giacometti, Modigliani, Frank Auerbach and others, and recollections of working with fellow artists and writers, the correspondence also explores a whole range of unexpectedly connected subjects, from making drawings of the dead and dying to encounters with barn owls and hares, and discussions of the mythologies surrounding them; from journeys on the Silk Road and observations of the night sky in Tajikistan to memories of the carved stone churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia and meditations on angels in literature, art and film.
'Stimulating, intimate, heartfelt and beautifully designed, this is a book to be treasured' Geoff Dyer
'It is such a true and lovely record - gentle, affectionate, seeking…I am so glad you have allowed your reader to listen in. And, of course, visually so beautiful.' Anne Michaels
'I love its form and concept and look, the hand-written, the visuals, the back and forth, the type. I love it.' Michael Ondaatje
