Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov

3.0

What can you say about Pnin that hasn’t been said already? It’s Pnin! Well it’s a sorta story about a charmingly goofy Russian professor who has some trouble making it to a meeting, staying in boarding houses and dealing with women. It’s wonderfully written and basically funny and light. There a quick verve into a sad holocaust memory towards the end and then it’s revealed that the narrator is the guy who is screwing Pnin over at his job. A bit of a highfalutin shrug from me. Like most non-jack reacher works of fiction, it probably went over my head.
