Reviews

"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"
