Book of May: Pale Fire
Details
Join us for the first time or for the nth! WHAT ARE WE READING?
Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov
One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years
“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 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.”
