Brick was excited because the new Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokonsky translation of War and Peace came out on Monday. They are a married couple who translate Russian classics into English. Their collaboration and their closeness results in especially accurate and poetic texts. This is Brick's new kitten seated atop War and Peace.

You should name the cat - Kitta.
Or, how about Leo in honor of Leo Tolstoy? Or perhaps just call him or her "Tolstoy".
The new translation is exciting news, however, I've always been partial to Constance Garnett.
