I recommend the boxed edition of the "Pale Fire" poem (without the ironic footnotes, that is another story), issued by Berkeley's Gingko Press, which must have exercised attentive quality control over production. I discovered many small touches that were not obvious until I got it home and took off the plastic wrapping: like the title in blind tooling echoing the red title on the top of the book box, the recessed pasted-on illustration, the pasted on title for "Reflections" (rather like the old "Insel" books, now Insel just uses photo replicas of pasted-on titles). The book cloth is sturdy and durable, the style masculine, not at all "old lady" precious. For the $35 I paid, it is quite a bargain, a lot more than I expected. Reading the poem and Brian Boyd's commentary in this format is a tactile aesthetic experience, very much in keeping with the textures in the text. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
At the heart of Nabokov's Pale Fire beats a 999-line poem, penned by its fictional hero, John Shade. This first-ever facsimile edition of the poem shows it to be a masterpiece of American poetry, albeit by an invented persona. This box contains two booklets - the poem "Pale Fire" in a pocket edition and the book of essays by Boyd and Gwynn - as well as facsimiles of the index cards that John Shade used for composing his poem, printed as Nabokov described them.
