About Pale Fire

Vladimir Nabokov's Pale Fire (1962) is structured as a 999-line poem by the fictional American poet John Shade, accompanied by an extensive commentary by his delusional neighbor Charles Kinbote, who believes he is the exiled king of the fictional country of Zembla. One of the most formally innovative novels in English and an inexhaustible meditation on interpretation, obsession, and the relationship between author and reader.
