Date: 04/23/1989
Binding: Paperback
Condition: NEW
A darkly comic novel of suspense, literary idolatry and one-upmanship, and political intrigue--and one of the great works of art of this century (Mary McCarthy)--from one of the leading writers of the 20th century.

In Pale Fire Nabokov offers a cornucopia of deceptive pleasures: a 999-line poem by the reclusive genius John Shade; an adoring foreword and commentary by Shade's self-styled Boswell, Dr. Charles Kinbote; a darkly comic novel of suspense, literary idolatry and one-upmanship, and political intrigue.
