Fourthwall Books has announced that it has
become an associate imprint of Jacana Media, an independent publisher based in
Johannesburg. Jacana has made an important contribution to South African publishing
though their wide range of fiction and non-fiction books, and Fourthwall looks
forward to a productive partnership going forward!
The independent publishing programme will
continue to be managed by co-directors Bronwyn Law-Viljoen and Terry Kurgan,
and as South Africa’s premier art book imprint, Fourthwall will persist with its
mission to publish visual books that are out of the ordinary, provocative,
experimental, well-designed, interesting to read and pleasing to hold and look
at.
Since Fourthwall’s establishment in 2010, it
has published 38 books and won several prestigious awards: the 2010 Jane Jacobs
Best Urban Book Award (New York) for Writing
the City into Being; the 2011 Antalis Book Design Award for Fire Walker; the 2015 Jan Rabie Rapport
Prize for Non-Fiction for Nagmusiek;
the 2015 Kyknet Rapport Prize for Fiction for Nagmusiek; and the 2016 Eugene Marais prize for Nagmusiek. Hanging on a Wire was the joint winner of the 2018 NIHSS award for
non-fiction.
