Vladimir I34492677

A provocative, razor-sharp, and timely novel about a beloved English professor facing a slew of accusations against her husband from his former students a situation that becomes more complicated when she 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 unnamed narrator becomes increasingly infatuated with Vladimir, a celebrated, married young novelist whos just arrived on campus, their tinder-box world comes dangerously close to exploding.
