From the Fall/Winter University of Washington Press Catalogue:
"In this wry, judiciously balanced and thoughly engaging book, Galya
Diment explores the complicated and fascinating relationship between
Vladimir Nabokov and his Cornell colleague Marc Szeftel who, in the
estimate of many, served as the prototype for Pnin.... Between the two of
them, Nabokov and Szeftel embodied much of the complexity and variety of
the Russian postrevolution emigre experience in Europe and the United
States. Drawing on previously unpublished letters and diaries as well as
on interviews with family, friends and colleagues, Diment illuminates a
fascinating cultural terrain. PNINIAD -- the epic of Pnin -- begins with
Szeftel's early life in Russia and ends with his years in Seattle at the
University of Washington, turning pivotally upon the time when Szeftel's
and Nabokov's lives intersected at Cornell..."
