Ivan Vladislavic

Ivan Vladislavić (born 1957 in Pretoria) is a South African short story writer and novelist of Croatian origin. He lives in Johannesburg where he also works as an editor. In the eighties he worked as a fiction and social studies editor at Ravan Press. He was the assistant editor of Staffrider magazine for several years and compiled the commemorative anthology Ten Years of Staffrider with Andries Oliphant. He is the author of the highly praised novels, The Folly (1993) and Double Negative (2013), as well as award-winning non-fiction, Portrait with Keys (2006).

Vladislavić's style is postmodern, intermingling fantasy with references to historic events, enabling them to signify with symbolic meanings both within a South African context and beyond. His is a distinctively individual voice.
