No marriage of a major twentieth-century writer is quite as beguiling as that of Vladimir Nabokov’s to Véra Slonim. She shared his delight at the enchantment of life’s trifles and literature’s treasures, and he rated her as having the best and quickest sense of humor of any woman he had met. From their first encounter in 1923, Vladimir’s letters to Véra chronicle a half-century-long love story, one that is playful, romantic, and memorable. At the same time, the letters reveal much about their author. We see the infectious fascination with which Vladimir observed everything — animals, people, speech, landscapes and cityscapes — and glim

Title: So sweet!
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2022
Review: This is a stinking sweet look into the private life of a man who is know the world over. The clear love and understanding he shows for his wife is astounding. Even in moments when he is hurt or confused by something he shows such love. I recommend it as a great read for experiencing more of the human spirit.

Title: A Bottle of Ink, a Speck of Sun, and You
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 17, 2015
Review: Given Nabokov’s penchant for creating a fictitious persona to present to the world, his early letters are a rare glimpse of the man before he has achieved wealth, fame, and a polished facade. These letters to Vera, small masterpieces, are a rare gift.
This review should come with a warning: I’m highly conflicted about the works of Vladimir Nabokov. In a college class I was once asked to read a selection of paragraphs by various famous authors, without knowing the authors’ actual names. I loved all of the selections with the exception of one hideously overwrought landscape description, that was clearly pure kitsch. To this day I despise the source of the quote: Nabokov’s “Lolita.” Yet one of my all time favorite books is his “Speak Memory.” Another is “The Gift.” How could the same writer produce both styles?
When I read Brian Boyd’s masterful biography of Nabokov, I loved volume 1 about Nabokov the Russian writer, and hated volume 2 about Nabokov the American novelist. Not because of Boyd, but because of the subject. After achieving wealth and fame with “Lolita,” Nabokov’s self presentations in interviews are particularly egregious: dishonest, arrogant, and great fun to read. Nabokov delighted in hoaxes, doubles, mimicry, and disguises. So I’m grateful that Brian Boyd, with his wealth of knowledge about the “real” Nabokov, was willing to work with the translator Olga Voronina on annotating Nabokov’s “Letters to Vera,” his fiercely devoted wife. While fact-oriented, Boyd is still dutifully respectful of both the author and his wife. Michael Maar’s “Speak, Nabokov,” is a useful antidote to the usual hagiography. Maar was the first to point out the obscure German work by Lichberg that foreshadows “Lolita” in terms of subject matter and title. Not the object of direct plagiarism, but a surprising source for an author who claimed not to know the German language.
Is learning about the man from his letters a breach of privacy? Even the early letters were definitely intended to be kept and reread. In fact, he altered his style after re-reading some of the first letters to Vera. Some observations worked their way into his poetry.(p. 248/716) He once visualized what the correspondence with look like as a published volume, and chided Vera that her part would look too small, she should write more. He was self-aware that letters by a writer have special interest. He expected them to be read by German censors at the very least, and used a pseudonym for himself and coded language in certain passages. I don’t think this volume represents an invasion of privacy. Anything compromising has been destroyed already by the vigilant Vera herself.
The letters make many things clear, that contradict later protestations: yes, he understood German. He was delighted to be called the new Rilke.(p.236) Yes, he enjoyed music. He used numerous musical references.(p.23, p. 102) No, his marriage was not totally “cloudless.” He was quite capable of lying to Vera about his encounters with others. (letters from 1937.)
I once talked with Nina Berberova about him. She was one of the early readers who discovered his genius when he was a penniless emigre poet giving readings in Paris. She was not overly fond of Vera, and she felt that Nabokov was hiding things. Some of his early personality, the personality that enchanted Berberova comes through in the first part of this volume.
There is an endearing lightness in the letters written before 1940. Some have a Rilke-like inflection: “All the rivers have been waiting for your reflection.” (p. 8)Often still boyish, he speculates that heaven will be boring as smoking is forbidden, but the angels smoke in secret. When the archangel is looking, they flick the cigarettes away — that’s what falling stars are…. Perhaps in a riff on Omar’s famous loaf of bread, bottle of wine and thou, “I need so little: a bottle of ink, a speck of sun on the floor — and you” (p. 35)I won’t cite all of my favorite lines, always best for readers to encounter them unexpectedly. I hope this is enough to indicate that finding the “real” Nabokov, under all those self-protective layers — is worth the effort.

Title: The Mask Never Falls
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2022
Review: Vera Nabokov met her husband at a masked ball: first, she intrigued him with a masterful understanding of his poems then she intrigued him by refusing to let down her mask.
It was the beginning of a relationship that would span much of the twentieth century. Through the Nazi takeover of their land of exile (Vera was Jewish), to their flight to England, to their finding a new home in America, you can count on Vladimir writing to Vera expressing his love and telling her to cheer up.
The emphasis on Vera smiling was because she suffered from morbid depression. In fact, she spent much of their first year of their marriage in a sanitarium.
Because of this, the mask never falls from Vera. She burned all her correspondence to Vladimir. And so, what one has is a record of a doting husband and a rather enigmatic wife.
The letters do dispel the notion that Nabokov was anything like the protagonists of his novels. And it is interesting depiction of a couple caught in the flow of the twentieth century.
But most of it could have stayed private. The repeated calls for Vera to break out of her depression tend to merge into one in the reader’s mind short of any response from Vera. And the insights into literature are more scattered than central to the text.
Those who can’t get enough of Nabokov will enjoy. Those merely interested in a twentieth century luminary will find little of lasting interest. A record of true love which perhaps was better kept within the writer’s family than published.

Title: so happy
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 7, 2018
Review: It feels intrusive and a little bit embarrassing reading these letters, especially having heard that Véra Nabokov was a person who valued her privacy, but I guess it’s okay since both the author and recipient of the letters (and even their son) are dead. Like all the characters in Lolita and Ada.
Anyway, these letters, mostly about everyday events and circumstances, are characterized by an ecstatically joyful appreciation of nearly everything and everyone, all described with the author’s legendary originality and amazing creative facility of language and imagery. He seemed such a happy person who loved life.

Title: The Softer Side Of A Great Wriiter
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2016
Review: These letters reveal a side of Nabokov seldom if ever seen by the reading public; and get us closer to a sense of the real man behind all the persona he adopted in his fiction and also in most of his interviews actually. But we only get half the correspondence here because Vera saw fit to destroy or at least not publish her side of the letters- there is a huge Nabokov family archive so only they know what other papers exist that haven’t been printed. Worth a look if you want to see the man stripped of some his pretension.

Title: Sheer Delight!

Review: An ode to love. Absolutely charming. Nabokovian wordplay to delight. Drawings and crossword puzzles, accounts of expenditures and meals and clothing, daily activities, characterizations of others. All provide a glimpse into the personality of this extraordinary individual.
