In a quartet of interlinked fictions, he unfolds the stories of four men – a statistician employed on the national census, an engineer out on the town with his council connections, an artist with an interest in genocide and curios, and a contractor who puts up billboards on building sites. As they try to make sense of a changed world, themes seldom explored in South African fiction come vividly to life. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eRanging effortlessly across distance and time, Vladislavić deftly explodes our comfortable views and shows us what lies behind the seductive surfaces.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-isbn field-type-text field-label-inline clearfix clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eISBN 9781415207260\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-book-type field-type-list-text field-label-inline clearfix clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003eFormat Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-rrp field-type-number-float field-label-inline clearfix clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-label\"\u003ePublished January 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Booksite Afrika","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39308274991189,"sku":"9781415207260","price":220.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/0053\/8453\/products\/9781415207260_-_The_Exploded_View.jpg?v=1617200089","url":"https:\/\/vikas-test.myshopify.com\/products\/the-exploded-view-br-by-ivan-vladislavic","provider":"Vikas Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
