I didn't even read the article, yet; I suck
The Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky translation of War and Peace comes out this week.
You may now continue to go about the business of not reading it.
Though at least now you may feel guilty about it.
A little bit guilty, at least.
(Not as guilty as you'll have to feel when the presumably far cheaper paperback comes out.)
(And yes, when I point one finger at you, I've got three others aimed back at myself.)

Thanks for pointing this one out - I love how the article gets into the nitty gritty of the translation. Not sure I will get to the book this year...but I WANT to.

Guilt? Nah.
The paperback version will unquestionably be out by the time I'm reasonably caught up with my TBR pile.
