Yvonne Vera (19. syyskuuta 1964 Bulawayo – 7. huhtikuuta 2005 Toronto) oli zimbabwelainen kirjailija.[2] Hän voitti urallaan useita kirjailijapalkintoja, kuten Commonwealth Writers Prizen vuonna 1987[1].

Ura

Vera lähti vuonna 1987 Yorkin yliopistoon Torontoon. Kun Vera palasi synnyinmaahansa, hän nousi kansallisgallerian johtajaksi Bulawayossa.[1] Veran kirjalliseen tuotantoon kuuluu muun muassa Palava perhonen (2000), hänen ensimmäinen suomennettu teoksensa.[3]

Vera kuoli huhtikuussa 2005 aivokalvontulehdukseen sairaalassa Torontossa.[4] Hän oli paraikaa kirjoittamassa kuudetta romaaniaan Kanadassa, jossa hän miehensä kanssa asui. Vera oli HIV-positiivinen, ja aivokalvontulehduksen on ilmoitettu puhjenneen AIDSin komplikaationa.[5]
