Vladimir

"Владимир" - провокационный, острый как бритва и своевременный дебютный роман Джулии Джонас об учительнице английского языка, столкнувшеййся с множеством обвинений в адрес своего мужа-профессора со стороны бывших студентов - ситуация, которая усложняется, с появлением у нее навязчивой идеи… И вот мы знакомимся с нашей восхитительно проницательной рассказчицей: популярной преподавательницей английского языка, чей муж, харизматичный профессор того же небольшого гуманитарного колледжа, находится под следствием за неподобающие отношения со своими бывшими студентами. У пары долгое время было взаимопонимание, когда дело касалось их внебрачных связей, но с этими новыми обвинениями жизнь стала гораздо менее комфортной для них обоих. Книга на английском языке. 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 and edgy literary debut, Julia May Jonas takes us into charged territory, where the restrictions of morality bump up against the impulses of the human heart. Darkly funny and moving, Vladimir maps the personal and political minefield of our current moment, exposing the messy contradictions of power and desire.
