This darkly comic novel is a creation of perfect beauty, symmetry, strangeness, originality, and moral truth that has been hailed as one of the great works of art of this century.
Pale Fire is an ingeniously constructed parody of detective fiction and learned commentary. At the heart of this captivating book is a 999-line poem written by the literary genius John Shade just before his death. But that's not all – surrounding the poem is a foreword and commentary by the demented scholar Charles Kinbote, who weaves in adoring literary analysis with the fantastical tale of an assassin from the land of Zembla in pursuit of a deposed king.
This brilliantly constructed and wildly inventive novel is a literary gem that offers a cornucopia of deceptive pleasures. Vladimir Nabokov's sharp wit and clever storytelling create a perfect tragicomic balance, making Pale Fire a must-read for any lover of literature.
