Neville Lister’s Dead Letters exhibition was a joint project with David Goldblatt. I am grateful to David for the use of Neville’s photographs, and to Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, the curators of the Alias exhibition, for prompting the work. The image of the exhibition in the ‘Dead Letter Gallery’ is by Marek Gardulski and is used courtesy of the Foundation for Visual Arts, Kraków. My thanks to Natalia Grabowska for sourcing the image.
My thanks also to Minky Schlesinger, Isobel Dixon, Corina van der Spoel, Kim Wallmach, Alan Schlesinger and Hilary Wilson.
I worked on some of thesestories during a residency in 2012/13 at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (STIAS), which is based in the Wallenberg Research Centre at Stellenbosch University. I am grateful to the Director and staff of the Institute, and to the other fellows, for their support and good company.
Dear readers,
We rely on subscriptions from people like you to tell these other stories — the types of stories most publishers consider too risky to take on.
Our subscribers don’t just make the books physically happen. They also help us approach booksellers, because we can demonstrate that our books already have readers and fans. And they give us the security to publish in line with our values, which are collaborative, imaginative and ‘shamelessly literary’.
All of our subscribers:
receive a first-edition copy of each of the books they subscribe to
are thanked by name at the end of these books
are warmly invited to contribute to our plans and choice of future books
Become a subscriber, or give a subscription to a friend
Visit andotherstories.org/subscribe to become part of an alternative approach to publishing.
Subscriptions are:
£20 for two books per year
£35 for four books per year
£50 for six books per year
