G. is a 1972 novel by John Berger, set in pre-First World War Europe.^[1] Its protagonist, named "G.", is a Don Juan or Casanova-like lover of women who gradually comes to political consciousness after misadventures across the continent. Berger's experimental, non-linear narrative novel won both the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction and the Booker Prize. At the Booker Prize ceremony Berger criticized the sponsor Booker-McConnall for exploiting trade in the Caribbean for the past 130 years.^[2] Berger also gave half of the prize money to the British Black Panther movement.^[3]
