The names of the literary geniuses Ivan Bunin and Vladimir Nabokov are linked by language and era, the scale of their talent, and their lives and work in exile. But there is another, more personal connection between these writers. In this book by Russian-American writer Maxim D. Shrayer, the gripping story of the long-standing and complex relationship between Bunin and Nabokov unfolds against the backdrop of the history of Russian emigration from the 1920s to the 1970s.
