Pnin

Written as a relief and respite from the dark, sinful, and obsessive Humbert from Lolita, Pnin is about the comical misadventures of an expat Russian professor in America.

Nabokov's strength in his prose is assuredly indulgent and always a treat, but it does make for a slow read at times.

The eponymous hero of the novel is extremely loveable and peculiar and has won my heart in more ways than one.
