One of the great works of art of this century.\" -Mary McCarthy, New York Times bestselling author of The GroupAn 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. Brilliantly constructed and wildly inventive, Vladimir Nabokov's witty novel achieves that rarest of things in literature-perfect tragicomic balance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52191453413664,"sku":"NEW0679723420","price":14.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81fE84iMyzL.jpg?v=1786830346","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/pale-fire-0679723420","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
