Anna & Oprah

[Katerina P. King]

  Where, exactly, is the problem? With the translation or with Oprah? If
it takes Oprah to introduce Anna Karenina to the general reading public
she should be commended! It is not as if "we Slavists" are succeeding in
spreading the word about the Russian classics. Go Oprah!
