Book review: ‘The Red Tenda of Bologna’ by John Berger

This short book can easily be read in a single sitting. It comprises a thoughtful memoir-cum-essay on the city of Bologna, and of an enigmatic uncle, both of which John Berger was clearly fond. It’s an enjoyable—albeit very short—read.

…Oh, in case, like me, you were wondering: a ‘tenda’ is an awning. Red ones commonly shade Bologna’s windows.
