Happy 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.

“It's a literary, feminist, boarding school murder mystery — everyone's favorite genre.” I Have Some Questions for You is the thrilling and inventive new novel from Rebecca Makkai, author of The Great Believers, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Part murder mystery, part timely take on issues that readers will connect with, this novel will keep you intrigued from cover to cover. Makkai joins us to talk about unreliable narrators, living on a boarding school campus, what keeps a reader turning the pages and more with host Miwa Messer. Listen after the episode for a TBR Topoff from Marc and Jamie. Featured Books (Episode): I Have Some Questions for You by Rebecca Makkai The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin Trust by Hernan Diaz The Keep by Jennifer Egan The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka Madonna in a Fur Coat by Sabahattin Ali Featured Books (TBR Topoff): Vladimir by Julia May Jonas Vita Nostra by Marina & Sergey Dyachenko Poured Over is produced and hosted by Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.

On this episode of Marginalia, playwright Julia May Jonas explains how the pandemic forced a pivot from writing for the stage to prose, resulting in her debut novel, "Vladimir."
A special Boxing Day episode hosted by Rachel Cunliffe, looking back at the best (and worst) of the year in culture. She is joined by Tom Gatti, the New Statesman's executive editor for culture, Kate Mossman, senior writer, and Rachel Cooke, our regular TV critic, to talk about their picks across TV, music, books, and film. In music, they discuss the high-art cabaret of Christine and the Queens' Redcar and Kate's nerve-wracking interview with Nick Cave about his deepening faith and grieving for two sons. In film, the stand-out was The Quiet Girl, based on Claire Keegan's story of early-1980s rural Ireland which left Rachel Cooke and Tom weeping. In TV, they move from the indulgent theatre of the Harry and Meghan documentary to the exquisite observations made in the BBC series Marriage, and explain why people can't stop the watching the second season of The White Lotus. And in books, highlights include the nasty but brilliant novel Vladimir by Julia May Jonas and Katherine Rundell's The Golden Mole, while the unanimous lowlight is Matt Hancock's retrospectively constructed and entirely delusional Pandemic Diaries.Subscribe to the Morning Call newsletter at https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/morning-call Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Jose speaks to Annie Fang, one of the stars of Your Own Personal Exegesis by Julia May Jonas. Fang plays Beatrice, one of the members of a church youth group in New Jersey, where she hopes she will be able to find answers to her problems. The darkly comedic work touches upon questions of what it means to believe and ultimately who is in charge of your salvation. Unlike her character, Fang isn't religious, but the two share similar questions about what it means to be human and find their purpose. Fang talks about how studying economics led her to perform, and how Kelli O'Hara, Wayne Thiebaud, and Mark Rothko, have shown her the meaning of the divine. Learn more about your ad choices.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.
Christopher chats up a recent visit to Fish Lake Valley, Stacey and Christopher talk over the recently released Vladimir, by Julia May Jones, and Stacey Powells stops by for a conversation about her new book Empty Cupboards.

[REBROADCAST FROM FEB. 4, 2022] A new debut novel tells a story of lust and obsession on a college campus... among the professors. When a popular English professor finds out her husband is under investigation for his behavior with former students, she turns her attention to a man named Vladimir, a young, married, novelist who has just come to campus. Her infatuation quickly turns to potentially dangerous obsession. Author Julia May Jonas joins us to discuss her novel, Vladimir, as part of our series '2022 Debuts.'
Zibby is joined by writer, director, and professor Julia May Jonas to discuss her debut novel, Vladimir. The two talk about how the pandemic shifted Julia's trajectory from theater to fiction, as well as the conversation about aging and female desire that lit the spark in her to write this story. Julia also shares how observing her husband write novels helped her craft hers, the gendered power structures and expectations she tries to push back against, and how her next book will differ from this project.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3PnyWIBBookshop: https://bit.ly/3PpLE9ySubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.

A new debut novel tells a story of lust and obsession on a college campus... among the professors. When a popular English professor finds out her husband is under investigation for his behavior with former students, she turns her attention to a man named Vladimir, a young, married, novelist who has just come to campus. Her infatuation quickly turns to potentially dangerous obsession. Author Julia May Jonas joins us to discuss her novel, Vladimir, as part of our series '2022 Debuts.'
On this episode of Marginalia, playwright Julia May Jonas explains how the pandemic forced a pivot from writing for the stage to prose, resulting in her debut novel, "Vladimir."
Jessamine Chan joins us to discuss her debut novel The School for Good Mothers (Simon & Schuster, Jan. 4), a brilliant social satire centering on one Philadelphia mother's “very bad day.” Kirkus: “An enthralling dystopian drama that makes complex points about parenting with depth and feeling” (starred review). Then our editors join with their reading recommendations for the week, with books by Ruth Behar and Devon Holzwarth, Bernardine Evaristo, and Julia May Jonas.
