One of the best-loved of Nabokov’s novels, Pnin features his funniest and most heart-rending character. Professor Timofey Pnin is a haplessly disoriented Russian émigré precariously employed on an American college campus in the 1950s. Pnin struggles to maintain his dignity through a series of comic and sad misunderstandings, all the while falling victim both to subtle academic conspiracies and to the manipulations of a deliberately unreliable narrator. Initially an almost grotesquely comic figure, Pnin gradually grows in stature by contrast with those who laugh at him. Whether taking the wrong train to deliver a lecture in a language he has not mastered or throwing a faculty party during which he learns he is losing his job, the gently preposterous hero of this enchanting novel evokes the reader’s deepest protective instinct. Serialized in The New Yorker and published in book form in 1957, Pnin brought Nabokov both his first National Book Award nomination and hitherto unprecedented popularity.

John Self, 35 jaar, reclameman, heeft niet door dat hij voor veel geld zijn eigen ondergang koopt. Hij heeft een paar succesvolle spotjes gemaakt en reist nu de oceaan over voor zijn nieuwste project, een speelfilm die Goed geld of Kwaad geld gaat heten. In New York gaat hij zich te buiten aan drank, slechte dope en prostituees. In Londen bespioneert hij zijn ontrouwe vriendin Selina Street. Geld is de afscheidsbrief van een zelfmoordenaar, door John Self geschreven in een agressief, verrassend vocabulaire met een scherpe en humoristische kijk op de hedendaagse maatschappij.

With her tousled blond hair and upturned nose, dark glasses and chic black dresses, she is top notch in style and a sensation wherever she goes.
