«From A to X: A Story in Letters» is John Berger's epistolary novel, published by Verso Books in paperback (208 pages, in English).
In the city of Suse, A'ida writes letters to Xavier, her partner imprisoned for his insurgent activity. Her letters sketch the daily life of the town and its inhabitants as an anonymous power tightens its grip; everyday gestures become resistance and a way of sustaining life.
The novel was shortlisted for the 2008 Booker Prize and is part of the The Essential John Berger series.
For readers of literary fiction and epistolary novels with a political backdrop, as well as for those familiar with John Berger's essayistic and narrative work.
