Pale Fire
Sunday 28 November 2004 20:00-21:45 (Radio 3)

A dramatisation of Vladimir Nabokov's great novel by the Sony Award-winning
playwright Robert Forrest.

Published in 1962, Pale Fire ranks alongside James Joyce's Ulysses and Marcel
Proust's A La Recherche du Temps Perdu as one of the masterpieces of twentieth
century fiction. Comic, tragic, heartbreaking, Shakespearean in its almost
infinite depth and beauty, it moves between leafy Appalachia and the mysterious
far northern kingdom of Zembla, telling the story of a homely American poet and
his regally demented neighbour.


Duration:
1 hour 45 minutes
