In 1972, Berger's novel [[G._(novel)|''G.'']], a romantic [[picaresque]] set in the Europe of 1898, won both the [[James Tait Black Memorial Prize]] and the [[Booker Prize]] in 1972. When accepting the Booker award Berger made a point of donating half his cash prize to the [[British Black Panthers]] (inspired by but unaffiliated with the American organization), and retaining half to support his work on the study of migrant workers that became ''A Seventh Man'', insisting on both as necessary parts of his political struggle. |

The book has been cited by [[South Africa]]n musician [[Johnny Clegg]] as a key influence on his debut album ''[[Universal Men]]''. |
