1. I have this completely cockamamie theory about Nabokov which no one is going to buy but this is twitter, so I'll put it forward.
3. To my mind that scene in Pnin always echoed similar scene in Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita

4. Here's the thing: while writing Pnin in early 1950s, Nabokov couldn't possibly have read Master & Margarita

5. Master and Margarita written between 1928 and 1940, first published in 1967. Existed before Pnin but not available to Nabokov.
