—People (Book of the Week) 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 are introduced to our deliciously incisive narrator: a popular English professor whose
charismatic husband 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 extra-marital 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 this bold  edgy  and
uncommonly assured debut  author Julia May Jonas takes us into charged territory  where the
boundaries of morality bump up against the impulses of the human heart. Propulsive  darkly
funny  and wildly entertaining  Vladimir perfectly captures the personal and political
minefield of our current moment  exposing the nuances and the grey area between power and
desire.
