• Portrait with Keys was published in June 2006, and is an archive of writings on a small segment of Johannesburg that has been walked, observed and reflected upon over the years by the author. Portrait with Keys consists of 138 numbered short texts, each addressing life in Johannesburg. The time frame stretches from recollections of the late 1970s to the immediate present. The protagonist is, in most instances, Ivan Vladislavić himself, although there are dozens of other characters with whom he shares encounters and interactions. In June 2007 Vladislavić won the Sunday Times Alan Paton Award for Nonfiction for Portrait with Keys. The judges called it a masterpiece and found it indicative of a trend among South African nonfiction to look "inwards in order to examine the outwards."
• TJ & Double Negative . Vladislavić's text was later published without images in South Africa and in the UK as Double Negative.
• Flashback Hotel: Early Stories
• The Loss Library In these stories and essays, Vladislavić examines lost fictions - stories that go missing or are never completed.
• A Labour of Moles Illustrated and designed by Sunandini Banerjee, "A Labour of Moles" is Book 17 in the Cahiers Series published by Sylph Editions: "The goal of this series is to make available new explorations in writing, in translating, and in the areas linking these two activities."
• 101 Detectives
