Don't make the same mistake as I didThis is for sure one of the most unique books i've read. The book is structured like a poetry book, with a poem called \"Pale fire\", if you don't know better, you will probably skip the afterword since it looks like it was made by the editorial or something, and probably also the index in the back, you would just read the poem, enjoy it, and move on with your lifething is, unless you look at wikipedia or have someone really tell you this, you may not know that there is actually more book. After the poem there is a big analysis of the book, you would initially think that this was not needed if you just dont want to read an analysis or think you kinda understood the poem. However it's in that analysis that the actual book is atthe point of pale fire, is that every other element (the afterword, the analysis and the index) are part of a different narrative. This becomes clear when you actually read any of themyou will notice at like the third paragraph of the analysis, that our narrator, (which is NOT the author of the poem) is actually clueless and writting a lot of bullshit. Like, they take a line of the book, kinda does something that could be true, and then 3 paragraphs later they're talking about their morning routine. Going to use an example of the start of the book to not spoil anyonekinbote wrote:<\/h4>Lines 1-4: I was the shadow of the waxwing slain, etc. The image in these opening lines evidently refers to a bird knocking itself out, in full flight, against the outer surface of a glass pane in which a mirrored sky, with its slightly darker tint and slightly slower cloud, presents the illusion of continued space. [...]<\/blockquote>kinbote wrote:<\/h4>[...] The poem was begun at the dead center of the year, a few minutes after midnight July 1, while I played chess with a young Iranian enrolled in our summer school<\/blockquote>and then, deeper into the book, it doesn't just tell stuff about their life, but actually starts telling a different story whatsoever, thing is, if you're reading this as if it was an actual poem analysis, (me, clueless). The fact taht the narrator is incredibly hateable and clearly spreading lies and stuff not relevant to the poem, will make you just kinda skim some sections when they starts their weird ramblings. However, you're not really supposed to do this, as there is a deeper narrative if you actually do engage critically and analyze the last detail out of those ramblingsand that is, because while there is a plot in the things they say about the kingdom of zembla, there is a deeper plot, about their actual relationship to the actual author, who is he exactly, and why he is doing this. Which, to be completely honest, I missed on my read-through<\/span>thing is, you must read the book with a word documment or notebook open and then read every word and then stop after every sentence to study what their actual meaning is. And after you have read it once, you got to read it again, because for sure there is going to be stuff recontextualized and things you missed. Which being honest, it's not my favourite thing to dohowever, if you were to do that, you would realize that the book is actually a lot more complex and really well written, but yeah. It's just you need a lot of context before going into the book, as the actual book is not the most enjoyable if not, there are so many things descouraging you from actually reading the book critically that I think most readers currently won't really spot this sort of elementsnot also that, but the book is also old, it's from 1962, not only that, but the actual author is russian, but this book was written in an entirely different culture, and they do use references to some stuff that while it may be apparent on the era and location it was written. It's really not noticeable by anyone unless you read the wikipedia article for it and then also watch a video analysiseven if I have complained a lot about the book, I do really like what they're trying to do, use a analysis of a book to tell a entirely different plot. I have seen more modern works with similar concepts, and they're really amazing. And this was the earliest example I know of this sort of story-telling, I just wish this book was easier to get into, because if it wasn't been for wikipedia, I would have missed half the bookthe actual plot is good, and part of the acutal plot appeal is the feeling of just calling the fictional narrator out on it's bullshit to then discover more plot. Cant really say any specifics of the plot because of thatnoy only that, but there isn't really a concensus what the acutal true plot and events of pale fire are. So yeah, good luck trying to read this----next: Lackadaisy also i'm still watching revolutionary girl utena, I just finished chapter 24 and I'm still very much enjoying it<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n <\/a> <\/a> <\/a>Discord de CTB Espa\u00f1a<\/a><\/em> | OT!eras<\/a><\/em> | Patatitta's analysis corner<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n Patatitta<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 1,328 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n ed February 2020<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Topic Starter\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n \n Patatitta<\/a>\n\n \n 2023-10-17T14:13:02+00:00<\/time>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n lackadaisy analysis:I initially was only going to read the comci, but I liked it, so I watched both the comic and the pilot episode for an animated serieslackadaisy is a pretty nice webcomic, it's about these furry characters in the 20's going around and having adventure, you dont really need to read many chapters to realize that it's that type of webcomic, the one that there is a massive diehard fanbase, mainly in tumblr and if you're looking at it from the outside, you dont really get whyabout the webcomic itself, the art is gorgeous. The first chapters start with a sepia color tone reminiscent of old phographs, with pretty detailed drawings behidn it. The sepia tpne was added mainly to make the webcomic easier to draw, as just drawing full color each chapter is incredebly time consuming. Only very successful comics can afford to go full color, however, the sepia aesthetic really fits and blends very well with the 20's detective adventure plot that they go forhowever, ther is a radical shift in the art near the end of the manga, switching, effectively, to full colour. And while it does lose a bit of the charm the previous art-style had, it's absolutely amazing, probably one of the best drawn comics i've read in this style. The characters are very well defined and there really isn't anything up for interpretation, which I think fits this storyThe characters are great, they're all very likeable. If you told me any character was your favourite I would understand why you think that.My only real problem with this comic is the plot. It's a very unfocused story, and since they make most of the scenes character moments, there is very little to the plot, it's supposed to be a mistery murder misterty thing but it really doesn't have that energy other than the settingI don't know, I just think this comic is in the wrong genre, if you want to make a character focused story with great art and focus all your energy in that, make a SoL, not a murder mistery. It does make sense why it isn't a SoL though, and that is because the genre of SoL isn't really present in occidental comics, less in 2006 when this started publication. Which is a shame, because I feel this comic would be SO much better if it just went the pure SoL routenot only that, but with the art-style change it feels it's trying to get more serious, but you cant really have this furry silly little funny characters and then have a hyperdramatic tense moment, you either have one or the other, not boththe pilot episode for the animation is fine, everything appleies to this other than the art, which I feel is a downgrade compared to the art-style of the comic, as it feels that in order to make the animation they got closer to the style of something like hazbin hotelstill good, would recommend it but I just wish it was a SoL--------------flowers for algernon nextalso i'm still watching utena, i'm on chapter 32, pretty good so far<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n <\/a> <\/a> <\/a>Discord de CTB Espa\u00f1a<\/a><\/em> | OT!eras<\/a><\/em> | Patatitta's analysis corner<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n lostsilver<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 3,752 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n ed November 2022<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n lostsilver<\/a>\n\n \n 2023-10-17T14:14:58+00:00<\/time>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n do over the garden wall please<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n loves<\/span> art\/animation,<\/span> pizza<\/span> tower<\/span> and<\/span> dnb<\/span> alot!!!<\/span> 2e2mt
