UVA Lecturer, Andy Kaufman, discusses Tolstoy on national TV

[Andrew Kaufman]

Hello Slavists,

Thank you for your many kind emails regarding my interview yesterday on the 
national TV show Democracy Now! I discussed the importance of Tolstoy and 
his War and Peace. Click here to read a transcript and play a video of my 
interview:

My segment appears about 6 minutes into the show and lasts about 6 minutes. 
The whole interview was completely unscripted and impromptu…a little 
nerve-wracking, to say the least!

If you have time, you should watch the whole program. It’s all about 
Tolstoy, War and Peace. It's fascinating. And it proves that the study of 
Russian literature is still highly relevant. We should all feel proud of 
what we teach and study and know that many people across the country are 
eager to learn from us!

Sincerely yours,
Andy Kaufman
