>Pulitzer Prize Winners in Brief

Stacy Schiff, ``Vera: (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov): Portrait of a
Marriage'' the winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for biography, was Stacy
Schiff's second
book.

A former senior editor at Simon & Schuster, Schiff was
educated at Phillips Academy and Williams College in Massachusetts.
``Saint-Exupery: A Biography,'' her first effort, was a Pulitzer Prize
finalist in 1995.

``Vera'' looks at the relationship and literary partnership
between Vera Nabokov and her husband, Vladimir, the celebrated author of
``Lolita''
and ``Pale Fire.'' The book was published last April by Random House.
Schiff, who has written for The New Yorker, The Times
Literary Supplement and The New York Times Book Review, lives in New York
City and
Canada.
