I’m surprised to hear her speaking so negatively of Huxley. I would’ve imagined that she shared the sentiments presents in Brave New World in their relation to freedom of speech and the individual.

when does she mention nabakov?

Does she? I've never heard him mentioned in her talks, though I do believe they were family friends in her youth. I would venture to guess that she would emphatically disagree with his metaphysical view of life expressed in his writings, though perhaps believe his literary skills are not terrible, if not sometimes a little mystical.

Oh, she does name-drop him at 24:58 as one of those modern writers that holds man as "a poor little thing that couldn't help it."
