Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for biography and hailed by critics as both monumental ( The Boston Globe ) and utterly romantic ( New York magazine), Stacy Schiff's VEra (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov) brings to shimmering life one of the greatest literary love stories of our time. Vladimir Nabokov--the EmigrE author of Lolita; Pale Fire; and Speak, Memory --wrote his books first for himself, second for his wife, VEra, and third for no one at all. Without my wife, he once noted, I wouldn't have written a single novel. Set in prewar Europe and postwar America, spanning much of the century, the story of the Nabokovs' fifty-two-year marriage reads as vividly as a novel. VEra, both beautiful and brilliant, is its outsized heroine--a woman who loves as deeply and intelligently as did the great romantic heroines of Austen and Tolstoy. Stacy Schiff's VEra is a triumph of the biographical form. From the Trade Paperback edition.
