Description
A poem, a preface, and a commentary come together in a complex web of meaning in Pale Fire. The late American poet John Shade's final work is presented alongside a lengthy commentary by his editor, Charles Kinbote. As Kinbote's annotations delve into the personal and the fantastical, the lines between reality and fiction begin to blur.
Nabokov's masterful novel is a suspenseful exploration of the darker aspects of human nature, where the boundaries between sanity and madness are constantly tested. With its darkly witty tone and richly inventive storytelling, Pale Fire is a thought-provoking and unsettling read.
Published in 2000, this edition features 248 pages and an unknown binding.
