Dear Bunny, Dear Volodya: The Nabokov–Wilson Letters presents the extensive correspondence between Nabokov and the American critic Edmund Wilson, tracing a friendship that evolved into one of the most famous literary quarrels of the twentieth century. Spanning from the 1940s to the 1970s, the letters document their discussions of literature, politics, translation, and aesthetics, as well as their growing disagreements—most notably over Nabokov’s translation of Eugene Onegin. The volume reveals Nabokov’s wit, rigor, and intolerance for imprecision alongside Wilson’s intellectual authority and skepticism.

At once cordial, combative, and revealing, the correspondence offers a vivid portrait of two formidable literary minds and the personal costs of uncompromising artistic conviction.
