On this month’s fiction podcast, Aleksandar Hemon reads and discusses
Vladimir Nabokov’s short story “Pnin
<http://archives.newyorker.com/?i=1953-11-28#folio=042>,” which was
published in The New Yorker, in 1953, and became the opening chapter of his
1957 novel of the same name, about the Russian-émigré professor Timofey
Pnin. Hemon, who relocated to the United States from the former Yugoslavia
at the outset of the Bosnian war, and learned English in part by reading
“Pnin” and other books by Nabokov, says that the author “is lauded for his

they are displaced Russians.”
