An NPR, Kirkus Reviews, Newsweek, New York Public Library, and Washington Post Best Book of the Year * "Delightful...cathartic, devious, and terrifically entertaining." --The New York Times * "A deliciously dark fable of sex and power." --Esquire * "Seductively subversive." --USA TODAY A provocative, razor-sharp, and timely debut novel about a woman whose husband is facing a slew of sexual misconduct allegations at the college where they both teach--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 narrator who's "a work of art in herself" (The Washington Post): 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. "Timely, whip-smart, and darkly funny" (People), Vladimir takes us into charged territory, where the boundaries of morality bump up against the impulses of the human heart. This edgy, uncommonly assured debut perfectly captures the personal and political minefield of our current moment, exposing the nuances and the grey area between power and desire.
