Pale Fire (Everyman's Library Classics) by Vladimir Nabokov (19-Mar-1992) Hardcover
CANTO 1. Kinbote's second story deals with King Charles II, "The Beloved", the deposed king of Zembla. I only wish I would have been more attentive before I ordered. Canto 2 is about his family and the apparent suicide of his daughter, Hazel Shade.

Kinbote writes his commentary from then to October 1959 in a tourist cabin in the equally fictitious western town of Cedarn, Utana. I ordered it because I wanted to be able to read the poem on note-cards side-by-side with the commentary (rather than having to flip back and forth like in other editions). King Charles escaped imprisonment by Towards the end of the narrative, Kinbote all but states that he is in fact the exiled King Charles, living incognito; however, enough details throughout the story, as well as direct statements of ambiguous sincerity by Kinbote towards the novel's end, suggest that King Charles and Zembla are both fictitious. I make mention of passion because you can feel three years work when you hold this book.

Even without the marvels of the novel “Pale Fire,” the poem “Pale Fire” is a little novel in itself. His last poem, 'Pale Fire', is put into a book, together with a preface, a lengthy commentary and notes by Shade's editor, Charles Kinbote. "Shadeans" maintain that John Shade wrote not only the poem, but the commentary as well, having invented his own death and the character of Kinbote as a literary device. Both of Shade's parents died when he was young and so his eccentric Aunt Maud raised him. And, as a rhyming novella, there’s really no question who wrote it. Starting with the table of contents, Pale Fire looks like the publication of a 999-line poem in four cantos ("Pale Fire") by the fictional John Shade with a Foreword, extensive Commentary, and Index by his self-appointed editor, Charles Kinbote.

Shade's poem, "Pale Fire," is an autobiographical narrative.
The book is also full of references to culture, nature, and literature. The American poet John Shade is dead. The first two lines of John Shade's 999-line poem, "Pale Fire", have become Nabokov's most quoted couplet:
I some reviewers have said that they were at fault for not reading the description more carefully. Kinbote's commentary, the bulk of the novel, is an insane comic triumph of would-be romantic self-celebration that cannot quite mute its undertones of desperation. At its heart beats the 999-line poem, "Pale Fire," penned by the distinguished American poet John Shade. There was an error retrieving your Wish Lists.
