Pale fire

Author:	Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov
Publisher:	New York : Knopf : Distributed by Random House, 1992.
Series:	Everyman's library.
Edition/Format:	Print book : Fiction : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"An 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. Surrounding the poem is a foreward 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. Brilliantly constructed and wildly inventive, this darkly witty novel of suspense, literary one-upmanship, and political intrigue achieves that rarest of things in literature -- perfect tragicomic balance."  Read more...
