I'd like to listen to/watch interviews to authors Veeky Forums dig. Here's one of my favourites, it's in Spanish, I don't know if there's an English-subtitled version, but anyway, here ya go:
Edward Said's final interivew, basically on his deathbed knowing he's going to die soon.
It risks the impression of being maudlin on premise but its actually an incredible account of his life and his reflections of what being an intellectual meant to him
I dont know the guy, but I'll check it out. I've been coming to this place for a month now, and I've realized that because of being a non native English speaker and living in a South American country I barely know most of the authors you discuss. Also I might be a pleb, but that's just another factor.

Every second brings you closer to death and you likely have around 1.5 billion seconds left. Think about that as you spend them watching these videos.
I really like this one with BolaƱo. As I understand, there isn't a subtitled version, so pretty bad for the ones who don't speak spanish, because I really find it interesting.
