VLADIMIR - JULIA MAY JONAS KARTONIERT (TB)

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.
