Pale Fire

Pale Fire

by Vladimir Nabokov

1989

A murdered poet's final, 999-line epic forms the core of this dazzling novel, surrounded by the mad ramblings of his supposed editor. The editor's commentary, ostensibly a scholarly analysis, unravels into a wild, conspiratorial fantasy involving a deposed king and his pursuer. This meta-fictional puzzle box is for readers who relish intricate wordplay and unreliable narrators.
