On Nabokov's Talking

Of course Nabokov talks better than DF Wallace writes.  That's because he didn't
give oral interviews.  He required that all interviewers submit written
questions to him; he then wrote the replies.

That merely makes VN a better (and pithier) writer than DF Wallace, which tells
us nothing about Wallace (or should I now call him "the much maligned Backlash
Boy"?) -- how many writers were (are) better than Nabokov?
