No markings, tight binding, clean, white and bright. 6.25" x 9.25". Illustrated wrappers. "Pale Fire is regarded by many as Vladimir Nabokov's masterpiece. The novel has been hailed as one of the most striking early examples of post-modernism and has become a famous test case for theories about reading because of the apparent impossibility of deciding between several radically different interpretations.".
