the pale fire redactions

a thousand-line poem, and its framing commentary by the most unreliable imaginable narrator, cut with a heavy redacting hand into a lacework cataract of hallucinogen-wet lamentations and impregnated with blood on blood/skin on skin

the first of a series of redaction volumes from Nabokov's English works; Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle is most of the way done, more to come. this is an EPUB with a backup .txt file; hopefully I'll add a PDF version in time.
