How the hell do you pronounce "Pnin"?

Pnin is kind of an outlier, it feels warmer and more human and less dense than most of his books - it's probably my second- or third-favorite Nabokov. I think there is depth there but he doesn't fuck with his readers as directly as in most of his books.

Yeah, that's why I like it so much: it's a victory lap novel.
