Puning

About This Novel

Nabokov's most autobiographical and witty classic. Originally serialized in four chapters intermittently in The New Yorker magazine from 1953 to 1957, it was Nabokov's first novel to attract widespread attention and popularity among American readers. Describes the life of an exiled old Russian professor teaching in an American university. Nabokov cleverly blended Russian culture and modern American civilization, and humorously and intelligently portrayed a distressed man who had lost his homeland, severed ties with his motherland's culture, and lost his love.
