A 999 line poem in heroic couplets, divided into 4 cantos, was composed--according to Nabokov's fiction--by John Francis Shade, an obsessively methodical man, during the last 20 days of his life.
Absurdly wonderful, manipulative without being a mystery, adventurous and so mundane.
Designed to be read in any order. It consists of a poem written by one narrator and annotations by another narrator who may be an exiled European king or may be an exile from a lunatic asylum. Pomo, read now.
