I have a radical theory about Pale Fire:
Kinbote really is the king of Zembla.

If you just want an unfilmable novel that fully utilizes the power of the written word in a way no film ever could, start here.

Nabokov likes Butterflies, so this book is perfect for you.

Just finished reading Pale Fire. I don't get it. Was there a real King Charles or was that just some insane fantasy of Kinbote? But if it was a fantasy, why did Gradus try to assassinate him? Is Zembla real or not?

This is supposed to be Nabokov's best work? Lolita was amazing; how is this book by the same author? The metafiction gimmick is shit, the story takes ages to tell, the prose is terrible. What the hell is the appeal?

Do I read the poem first commentary after, or do I read the poem with the commentary together?
