Good post. He's really sharp. Buckley isn't particularly good but he doesn't really need to be since it's mostly a JLB monologue.


Here are a couple of BBC interviews with Robert Graves. No great insights about his writing but quite enjoyable. Mostly Graves is just having fun. Clearly he doesn't care a hoot about any of it.

He is Latin American

Here's Evelyn Waugh. He's a bit defensive but that's just because he didn't much care for journalists, especially BBC journalists, and quite right too. He's perfectly well-mannered and reasonably forthcoming. Quite a few interesting comments, e.g. he liked the countryside because it was a place where one could be silent. There's no silence in a town, ever. Also he thinks Finnegans Wake is gibberish, hahaha.

I've seen Latin Americans who didn't look retarded. It must be something else. He seems autistic.

On the topic of pronunciation, I was startled when I first heard this interview, because EW pronounces "gibberish" with a hard "g", like Gandalf. I always assumed it was soft, like giraffe. I looked it up and apparently either is considered OK.

I've literally never heard that before. I guess some British accents allow for it or maybe it's just always been something left open to every English man?

This interview is from 1995, Gombrich was in England since 1936, but the Austrian accent couldn't go even after 59 years.

The Bukowski one shortly before he died where he coined the famous: "BIM BIM BIM, BIM BIM BIM."

I can't not give Vidal credit for managing to make his opponents snap. I'm still very mixed on whether or not Norman Mailer is actually that good of a writer or if he just managed to hit the literati scene and network his way in.
