A Good Laugh is the Best Pesticide
Vladimir Nabokov, celebrated author of Lolita, launches some characteristic barbs in a comic interview filmed on the shores of Lake Geneva at Montreux.
King, Queen, Knave, his latest novel to be published in England, came out last Thursday.

The Magic Apple Tree
A film about Samuel Palmer
The painter Samuel Palmer died in 1881 in a room whose windows were painted completely white to exclude the world he despised. Twenty years later his son destroyed the bulk of his work: Palmer was a forgotten Victorian artist. Yet soon his early work had become a prime influence on British Romantic painting.
This autumn several new books set out to place Palmer firmly among the great artists of the nineteenth century and to show how he anticipated Monet, Van Gogh, Paul Klee, and even The Yellow Submarine.
Written and directed by Robert Kitts
