A review by sweetmisty
Portrait with Keys: The City of Johannesburg Unlocked by Ivan Vladislavić

3.0

This isn’t a bad book. The writing is beautiful. The imagery is beautiful. The whole thing makes you think. But I don’t know what to make of it. What does the ending mean? What was the point? I don’t get it... This book is a little under 200 pages long and read like a 500 page book. I almost didn’t want to finish it. But I have no regrets. But i’m still confused. Why is it even called portrait of keys?? I have no idea.
