The letters of Nabokov to his wife—gathered here for the first time—chronicle a decades-long love story and document anew the creative energies of an artist who was always at work.
Superbly edited by Olga Voronina and Brian Boyd, these letters reveal Nabokov as a considerable wit, with a gift for terse put-downs and fascination with what remained outside his class and culture.
Letters to Véra, opens the workshop door and shows us Vladimir not in his accredited hard-shell case of genius but as a soft, vulnerable practicing writer.
