On: Don't be terrified of Pale Fire

[oraknabo]

Pale Fire is, without a doubt, my favorite thing Nabakov ever wrote. I've been through it at least 5 times but I don't feel as if I've ever fully read it cover-to-cover like other novels. It's just a rough draft of an epic poem (of specious quality) and a bunch of publisher's notes, but it's always intriguing and surprisingly funny.

It is sandwiched between Pnin and Speak, Memory

But I really love Invitation to a Beheading. he wrote in three languages!
