In Pale Fire, Nabokov offers a cornucopia of deceptive pleasures: a 999-line poem by the reclusive genius John Shade; an adoring foreword and commentary by Shade's self-styled Boswell, Dr. Charles Kinbote; a darkly comic novel of suspense, literary idolatry and one-upmanship, and political intrigue. / Nos hallamos ante una obra maestra, un «tour de force», una novela originalísima, desconcertante y diabólicamente divertida, que figura entre las preferidas de su propio autor y en la que refulge, de forma inigualable, su alambicada ironía y su mortífero humor. "Pálido fuego" se presenta como la edición póstuma de un largo poema escrito por John Shade, gloria de las letras norteamericanas, poco antes de ser asesinado. En efecto, la novela consta del susodicho poema, más un prólogo, un voluminosísimo corpus de notas y un índice comentado del editor, el profesor Charles Kinbote. A través de sus prolijos y entrometidos comentarios sobre el poema, sobre su amistad con Shade los meses anteriores a su muerte, y sobre el lejano reino de Zembla, que tan precipitadamente tuvo que abandonar, Kinbote va trazando un hilarante autorretrato, en el que acaba por delatarse como un individuo intolerante y altivo, excéntrico y perverso, un auténtico y peligroso chiflado.
