"This centaur work, half-poem, half-prose . . . is a creation of perfect beauty, symmetry, strangeness, originality and moral truth. Pretending to be a curio, it cannot disguise the fact that it is one of the great works of art of this century."

Fiction
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.
