VN (The Narrator) Timeline and Summary

  • VN first meets Pnin at his dad's ophthalmology office. Supposedly.
  • They meet again when Pnin is acting in a play (again, supposedly) and then again during the Russian Revolution. At least, that's what VN says. Pnin denies all of this.
  • Liza comes onto VN, but she is totally rejected. Burn.
  • The three meet up again in Paris, but Pnin denies ever meeting VN and calls him a stinking liar. This is still a flashback, by the way.
  • VN reveals himself to be the tricky narrator and ends up more or less co-opting the story from Pnin. Ouch.
  • And the story's not the only thing he's taking: VN turns out to be the guy replacing Pnin at Waindell College.
  • Needless to say, Pnin ain't so happy about this.
  • Bye, bye, Pnin. Welcome to the flock, Mr. Narrator.
