At once a love story, a portrait of a marriage, and an answer to a riddle, Véra (Mrs. Vera Nabokov) explores a remarkable literary partnership - that of a woman who devoted her life to her husband's art and a man who dedicated his works to his wife. Open a volume of Nabokov's, and there is Véra on the dedication page, front and center. But search for her elsewhere, and the woman to whom the author of Lolita was married for fifty-two years, who carried his correspondence for him in his name, fades from view.
Interviewer: Could you say how important your wife has been as
a collaborator in your work?
Nabokov: No, I could not.
