Vladimir
by Julia May Jonas
First, let's start with the cover. I was embarrassed to read this one in public because I didn't want people to think I was reading some cheesy romance novel. This looks like a romance novel, right? It's not really. But also kind of.
It's about infidelity and lust and sex and...bondage. Kind of. Well, not really. It's about so much more than that...identity, gender, power, aging, love, desire, success, shame.
Described as "literary fiction," this novel is beautifully written, smart, provocative, and thought-provoking. There is much here to tug at the heartstrings of any English major/teacher/book nerd...an unreliable narrator, poetic wording, dark humor, complex themes, and a plot twist (I still have questions about the ending).
Overall a good read. Recommend.
