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

i stopped reading it after the poem ended, the other guy was just boring to read, they should just publish the poem bit and tell the other author to fuck off hes dragging the guy with actual talent behind

Kinbote wasn’t even real. He was an invention of Shade’s because he knew poetry is dead and novels are where the money’s at.

He said poetry not childish limericks.

Is there anything to this book? It seems like one of those homework assignment books where I'm supposed to get flashcards and write out the poem and then flip back and forth between the annotation and I think the book even tells you to read it a few times. I take a pretty dim view of fiction to begin with and dumping a bunch of work in my lap isn't helping. Plus as far as I remember this book was pretty boring, it's just some old professor talking about his boring life and some boring poem he found and maybe something about his thot daughter. Should I bother?

How do you explain botkin? That detail feels superfluous in every pf theory

You should probably just watch anime and play videogames instead.

if you actually read the book the exact way it tells you to you got trolled by a fictional author

>buy two copies of the book
What a scam

It was also recommended that you cut the book in half.
