The perceptive images in the photo book 'Tales from the City of Gold' by Jason LARKIN show life on these out-of-place man-made monuments, legacies of the most successful mining of mineral resources in Africa. They illuminate the stubbornly ignored reality of these places and the ecological legacies that are still denied." (© Kehrer, Publisher 2013)
