How does Vladimir Nabokov compare Pnin to Humbert Humbert?
assistant
Nabokov compares Pnin to Humbert Humbert in that both characters are "monsters" in their own way. Pnin is the anti-Humbert in every sense: where Humbert flatteringly depicts himself as tall, handsome and charming with perfect English, Pnin is relayed as stubby, rotund, odd-looking and with comically bad English.
