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.
Have to burn out the clock somehow mate
What do you do everyday
every hour?
I really like this one with Bolaño.
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.
Oprah's interview with McCarthy.
Her questions were well-thought and they had good chemistry. More like they were hanging out than doing a formal interview.
Most interviews in that show are great. Look up the Juan Rulfo one.
3 1/2 hours!
how can you have that amount of patience it's incredible
I had a long commute to Uni and listened while on the bus. I never sit and watch interviews or lectures
Not really an interview and pretty memeworthy but Hunter S. Thompson looked like a fun guy.
Looks like a tryhard poser
Woah dude look much whisky I want, check out this death drive!

I like this one - it's Nabokov discussing different editions of Lolita. He usually had interviewers submit questions to him in writing and recited responses he prepared ahead of time but this one's off the cuff. He seems really charming.
You've got a strange bar for charm there.
2 to 1 get fucked
I see what you mean in light of the subject matter but there's something endearing to me about it.
>mfw she actually makes perfect sense and valid lucid arguments outside of economic policy
This one is great tbqh
The way the host looks at bolaño when listening to him with a murderer expression gives me the chuckles everytime
Moore's usually insightful and has a nice voice, but it's hard to find one without some pleb going "muh capeshit" at him - this is my current favourite: youtube.com
Blank on Blank produces some cool videos around old interviews.

hipster shit.
This one is a favorite of mine, one of the few times we see a candid Nabokov. He was thoroughly embarrassed by his speech and he refused to do interviews unless he could have a copy of the questions ahead of time so he could write and rehearse his answers.
Great Allen Ginsberg inteview. 4 Parts.
She was a genius, and right about most things, regarding the fundamental, and foundation of the human being, but she was very libertarian, and so I guess the only reason people can argue against her is the fact that states (and large states, and not always perfectly moral states) play a large role in national and international occurrences, and crony capitalism, corporatism, plutocracy, capital conspiracy stuff
heres another nice borges one. en francais.
borges looks like a fucking corpse
who gives a le fuck
why was he so cool
you are boring
gas her tbqh
seconded
>feeling threatened by a fucking child thats proud of having finished high school
It's better than masturbating at least.
i imagined him to be less jovial
not even libertarian, but she's surprisingly smart

>Autotranslate subtitle
no thank you
Her opinions on economy disgusts me.
But American audiences clapping makes me more sick
Surprisingly good interview. Rand has a stigma against her that's at times undeserving. Not a fan of those Christian broadcast talk show crowds though.
If thats your dumbass idea of fun then I'm glad to be
what a boring guy
Yeah but Cormac looked super autistic in that interview.
Yeah, I'm going to drop acid with my qt 3.14 psychedelic girlfriend at a Goa festival that my parents paid for.
Except not, and you can fuck right off.

There's so much contrast between him and his literary personas that it's sometimes hard to believe he wrote all those books. Apparently he was extremely caring and passionate as a doctor, while his characters despise humanity in every way imaginable.
The book they're discussing, the one by Higgs, is splendid. Make sure you read it at some point. It's an intellectual kickstart into the XXth c., pretty much.
Not an author but Derek Jarman is so pleasant that I have to share. It's cool to see somebody so open about being an AIDS-ridden turbo-homo over 20 years ago. I'm not sure how I feel about his work being forgotten now that he's gone, I know he wanted it that way but I sure don't.

Oh my god, now I have to read her books, if she's that lucid in a normal talk, and has the ability to be fluent, while having to pay attention, or be slightly disctrated by people, the presenter, the slowlyness of having to talk, to respond to someone, to explain...
Just imagine how lucid would her works be? wow. I guess I expect something very good bro. I really do.
She's a terrible writer, though. Not in the conceptual space, but when it comes to putting words together. And you can thank her influence on Alan Greenspan for the 2008 financial crisis, among other things.
UNLESS you're being sarcastic/subversive, then yeah.
>And you can thank her influence on Alan Greenspan for the 2008 financial crisis
?
Greenspan was a member of her clique back in the 50s or 60s. True, he departed from said social circle before getting involved in politics, but his critics say that her influence on him seems obvious (despite some deviations from the objectivist/libertarian worldview). He's also named as one of the several architects of the 2008 financial crisis.
Interesting
