Oude Leeskamer is proud to announce the launch of The near north by the award-winning Ivan Vladislavić, alongside the return of acclaimed writer at large, Justin Fox, whose Place: South African literary journeys has recently enjoyed a fifth print run.

 

Having written so eloquently and insightfully about Johannesburg and the city space in Portrait with keys, The near north sees Vladislavić in vintage form, returning to familiar themes with fresh eyes and tremendous heart. Justin Fox turns the lens inward and outward, offering a unique love letter to the South African landscape, informed by readings by nine of South Africa’s most beloved authors and their sense of space and place.
