Interview with Regina Spektor

[Anne Fisher]

Thank you Ben!

I can't help but share another interview:

http://izvestia.ru/news/529927

where Spektor is surprised to see people reading Ilf and Petrov in
translation, then says: "вот как объяснить термин "рыба второй свежести"?
Не могу себе представить." ("vot kak obyasnit' termin "ryba vtoroy
svezhesti?" Ne mogu sebe predstavit'.")

Confusing Bulgakov and Ilf and Petrov... right out of Lur'e's *V kraiu
nepuganykh idiotov*! (Not that Spektor is one of those, by any means...
just saying it's a widespread mistake. His demonstration of this in the
book's intro is great.)
