Pale Fire
Vladimir Nabokov
Publisher: Vintage | Format: Paperback | Page Count: 320
Kinbote is the villain as reader: a man who steals a dead poet's manuscript and buries it under commentary, annexing another man's art to his own delusion. Anyone who has spent time in literary academia recognises the type, which is the point. The bookshelf here is a crime scene, and the crime is interpretation.
