Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov, Unreliable narrators, etc

Calling all fans of Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov!!
(1) Please share this post with people you know who are also fans of Pale Fire! (Or just share it anyway - presumably it'll reach the right people if you do!)
(2) The amazing Tartarus Press are publishing a novel in January 2021 inspired by Pale Fire. It's called Ezra Slef and it's a satirical supernatural crime thriller.
(3) I'm looking for a select band of people to read and review the book. The reviews should preferably be on Amazon and Goodreads (but either or either will be okay), and/or on a book blog if you happen to have one.
(4) A free ARC is available to those who agree to read and review the novel. I'm afraid it won't be the limited edition hardback which will retail at circa £35 copy! - But it'll be a good quality product.
http://www.tartaruspress.com/
Please message me publicly or DM me if you'd like to be part of the reviewing team.
Thank you!
Kind regards
Jack

ARC's

I’ve written a novel intending it to be a bestseller.

It’ll be published on September 18 by a publisher with a great track record of getting novels into the Amazon top 100.

I’d like to email you an advance review copy (that is, a free copy of my new book) when they become available.

Would you be willing to read it, and if (AND ONLY IF) you think it’s good, post a review?

If you'd like an ARC just DM me or comment on this post.

Many thanks to all my readers whether or not you'd be willing to do this.

Kind regards

Jack

PS The novel is a psychological thriller with no graphic violence or explicit sex. (Which makes a change for me).
