You have pointed out 2 terrific paradoxes about Nabokov which never occurred to me! 😜😀 He undermined his own previously expressed opinions by writing "Speak Memory". Great video! I'm going to watch all your videos. "The more you explain how a magic trick is done, the less you appreciate the effect of the magic" - so true, Ma'am! But, boy, what a writer! "The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness" - the opening line, oh dear God!
It would be interesting to hear your opinion on the other books and authors you like. If you ever feel compelled to make one more of these videos, you sure have a grateful listener. Cheers!
I stumbled upon this video randomly, and I'm only one minute in, but I like it already. Pleasant host talking about Nabokov on a channel with mostly rock climbing videos... And Lolita together with Catch 22 on the bookshelf on the background... I know nothing about you, but these are all curious signs...
