Dear Bunny, Dear Volodya: The Friendship and the Feud is playwright Terry Quinn’s artful and poignant “dramatic dialogue” based on the quarter-century-long correspondence between novelist Vladimir Nabokov and The New Yorker editor and critic Edmund Wilson. First published in the Paris Review, Quinn’s epistolary drama was performed numerous times in the US and abroad, often with William F. Buckley playing the part of Wilson, and Nabokov’s son, Dmitri, playing the part of his father.
