Review:
"Hilariously funny and of a sadness." -Graham Greene""Pnin"'s vita, though its essence is saintliness, is yet a work of brilliant magic and fabulous laughter." -"The New Republic ""Fun and satire are just the beginning of the rewards of this novel. Generous, bewildered Pnin, that most kindly and impractical of men, wins our affection and respect." -"Chicago Tribune""Nabokov can move you to laughter in the way the masters can-to laughter that is near to tears." -"The Guardian"
Book Description:
One of the best-loved of Nabokov's novels, PNIN features his funniest and most heartrending character. Professor Timofey Pnin is a haplessly disoriented Russian émigré precariously employed on an American college campus in the 1950s. Pnin struggles to maintain his dignity through a series of comic and sad misunderstandings, all the while falling victim both to subtle academic conspiracies and to the manipulations of a deliberately unreliable narrator.

Book Description Condition: VG. A very good, clean, tight copy. Lacks title page, usual browning to paper. Used; Very Good Exiled by the Russian Revolution and what he calls the "Hitler war," Pnin teaches Russian at the fictional Waindell College, loosely inspired by places where Nabokov himself taught. First published in 1957 and then by Penguin in 1960. This 1971 printing with cover design by John Gorham, talented and prolific graphic designer of the 1970s and 1980s. Known for influential work with Windsor & Newton packaging. "His theory didn't emanate from inter-war design doctrines, it was more likely to be influenced by a sign in a launderette or a green felt pin-board; the ordinary detritus of everyday life.".
