This deliciously dark American debut' - The Guardian 'Best Reads For Summer' 'This astonishing debut . . . I was utterly hooked . . . [by] this twisty sexy shocking treat of a novel . . . How on earth will Julia May Jonas better this?' - The Sunday Times A provocative razor-sharp and timely debut novel about a beloved English professor facing a slew of accusations against her professor husband by former students - a situation that becomes more complicated when she herself develops an obsession of her own . . . When I was a child I loved old men and I could tell that they also loved me. And so we meet our deliciously incisive narrator: a popular English professor whose husband a charismatic professor at the same small liberal arts college is under investigation for his inappropriate relationships with his former students. The couple have long had a mutual understanding when it comes to their extramarital pursuits but with these new allegations life has become far less comfortable for them both. And when our narrator becomes increasingly infatuated with Vladimir a celebrated married young novelist who's just arrived on campus their tinder-box world comes dangerously close to exploding. With her bold edgy and uncommonly assured literary debut Julia May Jonas takes us into charged territory where the strictures of morality bump up against the impulses of the human heart. Propulsive darkly funny and surreptitiously moving Vladimir maps the personal and political minefield of our current moment exposing the messy contradictions of power and desire.
