Andrew Pope wrote on Bernard Pivot and VN on Youtube:
For the interest of the list, here is a link to the section that shows VN discussing Ada, but somewhat obliquely, by talking about the relationship between a magician's patter, slight of hand, and memory...(Of the three videos I link to the Ada video, and reproduce its translation below, for no reason other than that is my favorite of VNs novels).I hope this is of interest to those who may not have had the chance to see this interview before...
This message is to thank him for what is clearly a work of love - and generous sharing.
