Problem:In one novel by this author, Franz and Martha begin an affair and decide to kill her husband, but Martha dies of pneumonia. A poem appearing in one of this man's works describes "the false azure of the windowpane" after the opening line, "I was the shadow of the waxwing slain." That novel by this author of King, Queen, Knave centers on the editor Charles Kinbote, who describes the deposed king of Zembla while critiquing a 999-line poem by John Shade. This writer also created a young girl who runs away with Clare Quilty and is also involved with the literature professor Humbert Humbert, who calls her a "nymphet." For 10 points, name this author of Pale Fire and Lolita.
