Nabokov's "Dr. Cronin"[edit]

In chaper three of Pnin Nabokov describes a typical bookcase in a 1950's home: "Hendrik Willem van Loon and Dr Cronin were invariably present...exchanging looks of tender recognition, like two old friends at a crowded party." Vincent looks like a good candidate, but the action is placed in 1954, maybe a tad early... hmm Sparafucil (talk) 11:55, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A sure bet would be Vincent Cronin's novelist father, Dr. A. J. Cronin, who, incidentally, lived in the same town as Nabokov - Montreux, Switzerland - in the later portion of his life. Turquoisestar (talk) 14:17, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
