Bubushkin was Vera Stravinsky's pet name during their fifty years together - from 1921 when Diaghilev first introduced them in Paris, to Igor's death in 1971. Robert Craft is able to explain cryptic private references, identify almost all the names and offer background information about the people and situations discussed. Vera's diaries present a scarcely credible schedule of journeys, dinners, concerts, movies, parties and theatre going and a sparkling array of famous names and glamorous places. In spite of this, she was not at all star-struck, being in awe only of her husband. The Stravinskys' witty and wry comments on contemporaries are thought-provoking and sometimes hilarious. While the letters represent the entire surviving correspondence between the couple during their periods of separation, Vera's diaries document the time they spent together, and are the only record of Stravinsky's life in Hollywood. A comprehensive and revealing picture of these two extraordinary characters and their powerful relationship.
