Description: This is a luxurious box containing two books, a large book on Johannesburg, TJ, with astonishing pictures by David Goldblatt, and a smaller second book, Double Negative, with a novel by Ivan Vladislavic. This collection is an exceptional duo-edition in a special format--part fiction and part photo-essay. The book is about Johannesburg and about life in the city, home, habit, change, memory, mortality, friendship, ghosts, gardens, walking, falling, selling, and stealing. It is a partial account of both authors' lives in their neighborhoods; it is a selective self-portrait -- Provided by the publisher.
Notes: "Concept: David Goldblatt and Ivan Vladislavić"--Title page verso.

"This book of photographs is the visual element of TJ/Double negative by David Goldblatt and Ivan Vladislavić"--Page [5].

"TJ/Double negative is a joint project by photographer David Goldblatt and the writer Ivan Vladislavić, comprising a book of photographs and a novel. In TJ, Goldblatt presents 270 images drawn from more than sixty years of photographing Johannesburg and its people. Vladislavić's novel Double negative was written specially to accompany the images. Together the two volumes create a resonant conversation between image and text."--Slipcase.
