"Life changing, Will tear you apart. So painful, so powerful. The first time I read this I couldn't put it down for two days. When I went outside there were angels in the treetops"
"Early, almost unrecognised. Nabokov's 'happiest thing', and I agree. For anyone familiar with the real concept of travelling, I have never read so accurate a novel"
"I can't think of anywhere else you can get so much beauty for ten quid. I'm not even going to attempt to describe the sheer volume of genius in these stories spanning Nabokov's life"
"There is something incredibly haunting and memorable about Pnin; the synchronised dreams of the child not his, Tamara's death, the glass bowl. Nabokov demonstrating how beautiful life really is"
"Indespensible ... how all autobiography should be written. Just demonstrates the authors flexibility, his accuracy of perception, a sprawling self analysis."
"A beautiful book, genuine, heartrending. The whole book is structured around the climactic denoument, a violent, just, powerful release. Beats '1984' any day"
