Margarida Gato: ...I have translated Lolita into Portuguese but disgracefully (or not) never read Pnin.
Jansy Mello: I’m sure others will join me to encourage you to read “Pnin” since in this novel there’s a lot of tenderness, generosity, humor and heartrending scenes (the crystal tureen lost under the bubbles in the sink is just one of many, or Pnin’s recollections of his first love, Mira) that bring to it a unique “campus novel” quality. I hope they will offer you more inspired convincing samples…
