I love Pale Fire. “The iridule—when, beautiful and strange, In a bright sky above a mountain range
One opal cloudlet in an oval form
Reflects the rainbow of a thunderstorm
Which in a distant valley has been staged—
For we are most artistically caged.” Amazing.

The Glutton must be based on Tarrare. His story creeps me out, but I’m tempted to read the novel.

oh my god I just read the moustache and it’s been a while since I’ve felt so deeply engaged with a book and wow!!! i feel so thrown off and just completely shook from the ending to the entirety of the plot… lol my mind feels so cloudy from it and i tried to enlighten myself via Reddit but people hardly speak of the book so can someone explain the ending? It read a little bit like other existentialist novels I’ve read but wow wow I’m just struggling to wrap my mind around the book as a whole

i think friends made a reference to the first book when chandler wore glasses for the first time and the rest thought he always wore them (idk if book was the inspiration but its cool)

The rest are okay but I don’t really understand why Pale Fire is so liked. I got the “point” of the novel by reading the foreword. I don’t understand trying to parse through the rest of Kinbote’s ramblings when the entire piece is meant to be a satirical metafiction. and i’m being genuine. if someone wants to explain what they like about it i would like to change my mind.
