'This clever, engrossing debut explores female creativity, rage and desire . . . Astonishing' - The GuardianOne evening, a fifty-something literature professor invites her new and beautiful young colleague, Vladimir, to join her for a drink. Her husband is out a lot these days, having been suspended from their college amid accusations of inappropriate relationships with his former students. However, as the professor attempts to disentangle herself from her husband's behaviour, it becomes clear that her desire for the new arrival might bring the couple's tinder-box world dangerously close to exploding . . . Darkly funny and moving Vladimir, by Julia May Jonas, explores issues of sex, gender, power, and desire from its own unique perspective. 'So exciting . . . Sexy and satirical and incredibly gripping, impossible to put down' - The Observer
