101 Detectives

A private-eye convention and a tussle over a Pierneef A young man's unsettling experience in the American South and a tragedy off the coast of Mauritius. A bizarre night of industrial theatre and a translator at a loss for words. These are but a few of the fictions in 101 Detectives, a new collection of short stories by Ivan VladislaviA , one of South Africa's most celebrated authors. A collection of short stories launched his career as a writer. Twenty-six years and a whole oeuvre later, 101 Detectives showcases VladislaviA 's virtuosity as he bends and recasts this literary form in spectacular fashion.
