A novel constructed around the last great poem of a fictional American poet, John Shade, and an account of his death. The poem appears in full and the narrative develops through the lengthy, and increasingly eccentric, notes by his posthumous editor.
‘Pale Fire must be one of the most brilliant and extraordinary novels ever written, let alone in the twentieth century’ William Boyd, Daily Telegraph, Books of the Century
‘A Jack-in-the-box, a Fabergé gem, a clockwork toy, a chess problem’ – Mary McCarthy
