Pale Fire, Vladimir Nabokov

A book that is a poem with a preface and notes on the poem. Thoroughly spastic, completely enjoyable.

Quotes I enjoyed:

“Let me close this important note with a rather anti-Darwinian aphorism: The one who kills is always his victim’s inferior.”

P. 234

“If I correctly understand the sense of this succinct observation, our poet suggests here that human life is but a series of footnotes to a vast obscure unfinished masterpiece.”

P. 272
