Pale Fire Nabokov VladimirPaperback
A darkly comic novel of suspense, literary idolatry and one-upmanship, and political intrigue from one of the leading writers of the twentieth century. One of the great works of art of this century." --Mary McCarthy, New York Times bestselling author of The GroupAn ingeniously constructed parody of detective fiction and learned commentary, Pale Fire offers a cornucopia of deceptive pleasures, at the center of which is a 999-line poem written by the literary genius John Shade just before his death. "Half-poem, half-prose...a creation of perfect beauty, symmetry, strangeness, originality and moral truth.
Brilliantly constructed Surrounding the poem is a foreword and commentary by the demented scholar Charles Kinbote, who interweaves adoring literary analysis with the fantastical tale of an assassin from the land of Zembla in pursuit of a deposed king.
