i love him so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
ОтветитьNabokov was in denial about his Freudian tendencies by virtue of his novel Lolita.
ОтветитьThanks so much Maxim for posting this wonderful interview. So many unexpected surprises. VN sweet and vulnerable? Who would have thought ? He hides nothing. Just look at his pleasure with his cards and that Florentine pencil . Or calling his Lolita editions pretty. VN actually using the word ´pretty´? Not to forget his child like happiness in the chess game with his wife. It was especially good to hear him describe his writing process as never smooth sailing. Anna
ОтветитьThank you very much.
ОтветитьSimply extraordinary! Thank you
ОтветитьNabokov is more relaxed here without index cards than he was with Trilling on the program "Close Up" discussing Lolita with index cards. There's also a dearth of televised interviews with his younger cousin, Nicolas Nabokov; a composer, cultural ambassador, and friend of Stravinsky.
ОтветитьTranslating his own work in his first language? Lol.
Ответитьfreud was a DISGUSTING creature
Hope Hell is Hot fer ya
Wooooooooooooooooow !!!! At last !!!! I have been looking for years for this interview !!! This is the perfect birthday present so thank you so much !!!!! :)
ОтветитьDidn't know he disliked Freud.
Ответитьeven after decades of living in the west he didn't develop an accent when he spoke russian
ОтветитьHe was a snob but at the end of his life he accomplished what he wanted to have: to live in a palace and to be served. 😀
ОтветитьI'd understood/read that he insisted on having questions submitted in advance, so as to prepare his answers and read out responses.
So this surprises me.
Важно было услышать голос Владимира Набокова и видеть ,чтобы почувствовать его как человека. Спасибо! Его точная эмоционально поэзия для мыслящих людей неповторима, человеческая редкость. Ей мало уделяется внимания, вывод конечно неутешительный.
ОтветитьI remember watching interviews of this sort back in the 60's on WTTW channel 11 in Chicago. I was a kid with a nose for this kind of thing.
ОтветитьWhat a pleasure to see the old master talk about his work and his process, to see him acting so casual. Thank you very much for this video!
ОтветитьHuge upload!
ОтветитьThank you Dr. Shrayer, for giving us the chance to enjoy Nabokov's presence at our homes!!
ОтветитьThis interview was very pleasant, especially in these troubled times! Very interesting a true citizen of the world! RIP Vladimir 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Where was I then in 1965, oh yes, in elementary school! I find it a very moving and profound interview!
ОтветитьHis French is good.
ОтветитьO.f.i.g.e.t.🤦🏻♂️ I could never imagine I would see Nabokov speaking English.
ОтветитьOf course he wouldn't like the word or concept: humility
ОтветитьI didn't know he spoke with a burr in Russian.
ОтветитьIf we did not already have Lolita I do not think that it could be published today.
ОтветитьОкey. But there's a touch of his mother tongue. Russian feels.
Ответить"...like a hypnotised person making love to a chair." Wonderful.
ОтветитьTruly thankful for sharing such wonderful interview with us! 🧡
Ответитьcalling updike an artist and faulkner 'corn-cobby' is peak nabokov
ОтветитьDelightful on so many levels. Thank you for sharing. 😊
ОтветитьThe beginning is absolutely epic. EPIC. 😄
ОтветитьNabokov's attack on Freud instantiates the very Philistinism he condemned in one of his better writings of lthat title; worse, that a genius like Nabokov had to "take second jobs" and "eek out a living proves that Philistinery has in fact won the Kulturkampf. But Freud was as far from Medieval as Voltaire, dear master novelist, and your "dreams" are up for penalty, but if you grant hypnosis, mental cause, and the Unconscious exist, which you just did when savaging Mann, well gee you are a Freudian.
ОтветитьCame across to me as a bit full of himself... particularly when reading from his own paedophilic novel
Ответитьfascinating in subject and presentation
ОтветитьPompous and unpleasant.
Would move away to another table at the Café Odeon if he had come in , as would my writer friends.
who was between kafka and proust? couldn't understand..!
ОтветитьA real LEGEND🤩💪🙏🏻😇
ОтветитьSo glad he understood Freud was crazy, Jung not far behind.
ОтветитьThank you, Dr. Shrayer, for the opportunity and pleasure not only to read this interview but also to watch it.
If you have in possession the video of interview to Mossman and can upload it as well, that would be very kind of you.
So glad to hear him mention Salinger and Updike!
ОтветитьAs Mr Nabokov concerning his interviews, no words come to me as I try to express my gratitude for this video. It's a rare experience to watch this great writer speaking for himself.
ОтветитьI am so glad this is up! Never knew he was on film at this time...
Ответитьand good old Vlad, my favourite writer save Tolstoy, claimed he was never ever drunk. hahaha. and that he detested music. but not film, mates. not film.
ОтветитьWhat a delight. Thanks for posting.
Ответитьenjoyed every second
Ответитьwhat a gem
thank you!
