Julia May Jonas, VLADIMIR: A Novel

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.
