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.

Propulsive, darkly funny, and surreptitiously moving, \u003ci\u003eVladimir\u003c\/i\u003e maps the personal and political minefield of our current moment, exposing the messy contradictions of power and desire.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45065834922142,"sku":"ADS-9781529080445","price":42.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781529080445.jpg?v=1738728911","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781529080445","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
