Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov
3.0

A book that stings more than it tickles. It hits too close to home for a Chinese émigré in the West such as myself, who, despite self-proclaimed pragmatism, can never quite shake off an idealistic indulgence in useless antiquity. I hope I am more worldly than hapless Prof Pnin.
