>>25593333checked. which other book does it spoil? been a bit since i've read pnin
>>25592624>here's that nymphet I was telling you about
>>25594376Anna Karenina. when Pnin is at the party with the other russian ex-pats, one lady says "oh! when she <end of the book>". it was not particularly relevant and seems to be added only to spite the reader.i think Pnin itself was written out of spite. Nabakov took his anger at having been robbed of a posistion in the russian aristocracy out on his american readers by making the most endearing russian character he could, and then torturing him, even going so far as to make is self-insert, vladimir vladimirovitch, one of his chief tormentors.
