PNIN by Vladimir Nabokov
PNIN is just one more reason why Nabokov might be my favorite writer of all time. The Russian master's slim novel from 1958--just a year after Lolita--is such a dream. Truly one of my favorite books. We dive deep into narrative stance, satire, structure, figurative language, the campus novel and SQUIRRELS. Treat yourself to his genius now!
