Ivan Vladislavic is a multi-award winning author, editor, and professor of creative writing. His new memoir The Near North is available now.
Ivan joins Fiona Snyckers and Gail Schimmel to talk about how not having grown up in Johannesburg has made him more curious about the city and how the words of other authors are the constant backdrop to his life.
Ivan discusses the narrative choices one has to make as a memoirist and gives credit to his trusted early readers for helping his decide how to structure The Near North.
