BOOK CLUB: Vladimir
Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7FN07LZkPnUfp7eXzQQWd5?si=dbfc7cb8957844c7Happy Saturday, book clubbers!This month, we read ‘Vladimir’ by Julia May Jonas. This novel is told from the perspective of a deliciously incisive narrator: a popular English professor whose husband, a charismatic teacher at the same small liberal arts college, is under investigation for his inappropriate relationships with his former students. The couple has 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.Big thanks to Elite Eleven and their brand new podcast network, Elite Eleven podcasts, for making this episode possible.
