Nabokov speaks

Taking a break from Speak, Memory, I'd like to introduce you all to this video of Nabokov that I found on Youtube. The film starts in french then breaks down into several videos of Nabokov speaking on different topics. Four minutes into the piece, Nabokov talks about his picks for the greatest books of all time and reads from a notebook in which he writes about "things that [he] detests", which include "portable music", "concised dictionaries", and "journalistic clichés". =) The last few moments show Nabokov and his wife, Véra, playing chess, a rare glimpse of their interactions together.
