5.0étoiles sur 5 Nothing pale about it, Sep 21 2006
This review is from: Pale Fire (Hardcover)
This book has bee likened to McCrea's KATZENJAMMER which contains elements of the same thing---what is truth----what is the lie? PALE FIRE can be read on many levels, but if you really want to 'get' it, you'll have to delve into the structure, pay attention, and possibly read it twice. Nabakov uses the book to not only tell a story, but also to show how the story is at once true, and false. I was also reminded of Palahniuk's FIGHT CLUB with its weird tone and twists at the end. I can't recommend PALE FIRE enough, and also the author's better known LOLITA.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Masterpiece, Juil 17 2004
Par Mark Cannon (Larchmont, NY) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Pale Fire (Paperback)
An original and one-of-a-kind art form. The story occurs not mainly in the text, but in the "notes," and not so much in what is told, but in how it is told. The commentator/annotator, Kinbote, is obsessed with telling his story -- but the keys are in the manner and craziness of how he tells it. "Pale Fire" is a wonderful and transporting journey.

4.0étoiles sur 5 An amazingly original achievement, Jui 17 2004
Par Matthew Krichman (Durango, CO) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Pale Fire (Paperback)
Reading Nabokov, it is impossible not to get the impression that this is an author who knows that he is 100 times smarter than his readers. Not only that, he also feels no shame in making that abundantly obvious with every sentence that he writes. Reading Pale Fire is the literary equivalent of turning around in circles until you get so dizzy that you fall over, punch drunk and hysterical. You feel sick and disorientated, but you also get the sense that the process was somehow fun and - dare I say - worth it.

Whether you like this book or not - and personally, I can't say that I loved it - it is hard to deny what an amazing achievement it is. Nabokov first writes a 999-line poem - the equivalent of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, in length if not in quality. He then writes a foreword to the poem, and a line-by-line commentary, as if the poem were written by someone else. And by means of the commentary he weaves an imaginative, suspenseful adventure that is so obviously fictitious that it immediately becomes real. There's no denying that this is brilliantly creative and original writing.
